FAQ
Q: Is the Michael Kors MK3178 suitable for daily wear?
A: Absolutely. The Slim Runway MK3178 is designed as an everyday watch, combining durability with elegant styling. Its stainless steel construction can withstand the rigours of daily use, whilst the quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping without requiring manual winding. The 50-metre water resistance protects against splashes and rain, making it suitable for handwashing and everyday activities.
Q: What is the case size of this watch, and will it suit a smaller wrist?
A: The MK3178 features an approximate 42mm case diameter, which is considered a mid-size dimension that works well for many wrist sizes. Whilst marketed as a women's watch, the proportions are versatile enough to suit those who prefer a more substantial presence on the wrist. We recommend visiting our Mall of the South boutique for a personal fitting to ensure the ideal fit for your wrist.
Q: Can I swim or shower whilst wearing this watch?
A: With a water resistance rating of 50 metres (5 ATM), the MK3178 can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or any water sports. The rating is designed to protect against accidental exposure to water rather than prolonged submersion. Additionally, the crown should always be pushed in fully to maintain water resistance.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing, and where can I have this done?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years, depending on usage. When your MK3178 requires a battery replacement, you can bring it to Cassim & Co. at Mall of the South, where our watch servicing team will replace the battery, check the water resistance seals, and ensure the watch is functioning optimally before returning it to you.
Q: Is this watch covered by a manufacturer's warranty?
A: Yes. When purchased from Cassim & Co., an authorised Michael Kors retailer, this watch carries a 2-year international Michael Kors warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, but does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacements, accidental damage, or water damage due to misuse.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be sized to fit your wrist by removing or adding links. Our team at Cassim & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing with your purchase. If you order online and require adjustment, you can visit our Mall of the South store, or contact us to arrange sizing assistance.
Q: What styling occasions is the Slim Runway MK3178 best suited for?
A: The minimalist design and silver-tone finish make this watch exceptionally versatile. It pairs beautifully with professional attire, complementing suits and business wear, whilst also serving as an elegant accent to casual outfits. The clean dial and understated aesthetic mean it transitions seamlessly from boardroom to weekend brunch, making it an excellent choice for those who value a single, go-anywhere timepiece.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and daily residue.
- For deeper cleaning of the stainless steel bracelet, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, ensuring the crown is fully pushed in. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents, as these can damage the movement and finish.
- When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A watch box or pouch will protect it from dust and scratches.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this may compromise water resistance and void the warranty. All servicing should be performed by qualified watchmakers.
- Ensure the crown is always pushed in fully after setting the time to maintain the watch's water resistance rating.
- If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it immediately with fresh water and dry it thoroughly to prevent corrosion.
- Have the watch serviced every 3 to 4 years by an authorised service centre to ensure the movement remains in optimal condition and water resistance seals are intact.
- Replace the battery promptly when the watch stops or displays erratic timekeeping, as a depleted battery left in the movement can cause damage.
- Avoid impact and shock to the watch, as even quartz movements contain delicate components that can be damaged by hard knocks.
