Michael Kors launched two new Android Wear smartwatches on Tuesday, including the Dylan and the Bradshaw. The wearable devices were first teased earlier this year. One thing that’s common between both styles is that they are chunky as well as hefty and they start at $350. Unlike with many other smartwatches, there is no discernible difference in size between the men’s and women’s versions.

Biggest selling point for the Access watches are their customizable watch faces.
Since these wearable devices run on Android Wear you should expect similar functionality when compared to other Android Wear smartwatches.
The Dylan was designed for men, with a silicone strap and custom Michael Kors watch faces. You can also set a time for your different watch faces to match with your surroundings automatically.
The company said there are hundreds of possible combinations of display face, colour, and dials. Customizing the watch faces on the watch itself proved to be very tedious and fiddly, and I much would have preferred to do it from an app on my phone. We’re seeing fashion brands jump into the world of smartwatches as well. Or else, they are built on the same technology and specifications as Fossil’s Android Wear watches: a Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100 processor, 320 x 290-pixel display, activity tracker, color touch screen, speaker, but surprisingly no heart rate monitor.
