Michael Kors · Jewelry & Watches > Wristwatches
Era / Decade
2010s-2020s; specifically manufactured around 2018-2020 based on the Ritz pavé design evolution and date wheel placement.
Material
Stainless steel case and bracelet with silver-tone plating; paved with clear crystals (glass/crystal); mineral crystal face; Japanese quartz movement.
Condition
Very Good. The crystal appears clear of major scratches; watch is mounted on a display pillow. Minor surface abrasions on the stainless steel side walls and bezel are visible. Full functionality depends on a working battery.
Demand Level
Moderate. Michael Kors watches have a steady secondary market, though demand for 'all-over crystal' styles peaked in the late 2010s. Best for gift-giving seasons.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark or Mercari are best for fashion brand watches; eBay for a global reach to collectors; Facebook Marketplace for quick local cash sales without shipping fees.
Selling Tips
Replace the battery before listing to confirm it works; a 'ready to wear' watch sells for 30% more. Use keywords like 'iced out', 'pavé', and 'statement watch'. Take photos in natural sunlight to show off the crystal sparkle and include a shot of the model number on the case back.
