Michael Kors Women Gen 5E Darci Touchscreen Smartwatch with Speaker, Heart Rate, GPS, NFC, and Smartphone Notifications

Product Information

Michael Kors Gen 5E Darci is packing the same internal smarts as the Fossil Gen 5E smartwatches, which means there have been updates to size and performance over previous models. The screen is a full AMOLED display, but isn't as punchy or crisp as rivals – even on devices such as the Huawei Watch GT2 or Amazfit GTS 2 Mini.

Although the MKGO Gen 5E has a more minimal design than other smartwatches from Michael Kors, it’s still unashamedly fashion-focused with plenty of sparkles thanks to a pave-studded ring around the edge of the screen.If you're looking for statement watch with that can track steps, offer apps on the wrist and let you know when your phone's ringing, the Darci 5E does the job. Michael Kors is one of the Fossil Brand army of fashion houses, and has gone all-in on fashion heavy smartwatches.

We found these to be accurate overall, even if it did seem like it didn’t react as quickly as the device we used as a test – the Whoop Band 3. Although it does work with Android and iPhone, a few features work best with Android devices; this includes Google Pay (there’s NFC on board). The service is extremely basic compared to what you'll find on a Garmin, Apple or Fitbit smartwatch. She’s passionate about helping people wade through tech jargon to find useful products they’ll actually use – with a focus on health and wellbeing.Distance was accurate too, as was the map that was produced in the Google Fit app shortly after we completed a workout. For example, cranking up full-screen brightness, using GPS and taking heart rate readings will significantly drain it. Fossil smartwatches are currently on Gen 5 hardware – and now Michael Kors has updated two of its lines to run on the latest hardware: the sportier Gen 5E MKGO and sparkling statement Darci Gen 5E Smartwatch.

There is also no way to reply to messages so the information is delivered but functionality of what you can then do with that is limited. Thanks to Google Fit, you’ve got different types of fitness tracking on board, including walking, HIIT, weight training and yoga.You can also download tracks to the on-board storage to listen to if you don't want to bring your phone with you.
