How To Care For Your Michael Kors Watch
We would advise knowing your watch’s water resistance, and avoid swimming in your watch if it is 3 or 5 ATM, as this splash proof or built to withstand being submerged in water only. Use a soft cloth to clean metal watch cases and bracelet straps regularly, and store your watch in the original box it came in when you are not wearing it.
Any Michael Kors watch that is bought in Europe will come with a two-year warranty, as long as there is proof of purchase. This means that the watch can be repaired or replaced free of charge in certain circumstances.
