FAQ
Q: Is the Michael Kors Rhys MK9229 suitable for swimming?
A: With 50 metres of water resistance, the MK9229 can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or water sports. The chronograph pushers should never be operated when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water-tight seal.
Q: How does the chronograph function work on this watch?
A: The chronograph is operated via the two pushers flanking the crown. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph timing function, whilst the bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands to zero. The three sub-dials display elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours of chronograph operation. When not in use, the chronograph hands remain stationary, and the watch displays normal timekeeping.
Q: Will the gold-tone finish wear off over time?
A: The gold-tone finish is applied using physical vapour deposition (PVD) or ion plating, which creates a durable bond to the stainless steel substrate. With proper care and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces, the finish should maintain its appearance for many years. Normal desk diving and minor contact wear may create light marks over time, which is typical for plated watches.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last 2-3 years depending on usage, particularly chronograph operation which draws additional power. When the battery requires replacement, bring your watch to Cassim & Co. and our technicians will install a fresh battery using proper tools to maintain the water resistance seal. We recommend having the water resistance tested whenever the case back is opened.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the integrated bracelet can be professionally sized by removing or adding links to achieve the perfect fit. Our team at the Mall of the South boutique provides complimentary bracelet adjustment with purchase. The bracelet uses screw-type pins, which offer superior security compared to push-pins and can be adjusted multiple times as needed.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: The Rhys MK9229 occupies the smart-casual to business-casual category. The square case and forest green dial make it a distinctive style statement rather than a traditional dress watch. It pairs beautifully with business casual attire, chinos, blazers, and weekend wear. For black-tie formal events, a simpler round dress watch with leather strap would be more traditionally appropriate.
Q: Does this watch come with the full Michael Kors warranty when purchased from Cassim & Co.?
A: Absolutely. As an authorised Michael Kors retailer, every watch we sell includes the complete 2-year international manufacturer warranty, valid worldwide at any authorised Michael Kors service centre. Your purchase includes the official warranty card, instruction manual, and original Michael Kors presentation packaging.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and daily debris.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals including perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and chlorinated water, as these may damage the gold-tone finish.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports. Though water-resistant to 50 metres, hot water and soap can degrade gasket seals over time.
- Never operate the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or underwater, as this can allow moisture to enter the case.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. A watch box or soft pouch protects against scratches.
- Avoid impacts, dropping, or striking the watch against hard surfaces, as the quartz movement contains delicate electronic components.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or displays erratic timekeeping. Battery leakage can cause significant internal damage if left unattended.
- If the bracelet becomes loose or develops excessive play, have it inspected immediately to prevent loss of the watch.
- Clean between bracelet links periodically using a soft brush and lukewarm water with mild soap, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or prolonged direct sunlight, which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
