FAQ
Q: Is the Michael Kors MK8576 suitable for swimming?
A: The MK8576 has a water resistance rating of 50 metres (5 ATM), which makes it suitable for everyday splashes, rain, and hand-washing, but it is not designed for swimming, showering, or water sports. For aquatic activities, we recommend timepieces with a minimum 100-metre water resistance rating.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years depending on usage patterns. Our watch servicing team at Cassim & Co. can replace your battery using genuine components, and we recommend having the water resistance seals checked and tested at the same time to maintain the watch's integrity.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, absolutely. The three-link stainless steel bracelet can be professionally resized by removing or adding links to achieve the perfect fit. This service is complimentary when you purchase from Cassim & Co., and can be performed while you wait at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: What is the difference between gunmetal and regular stainless steel?
A: Gunmetal refers to a dark grey PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating applied to stainless steel, creating a sophisticated matte charcoal finish. This coating is durable and scratch-resistant, though like any surface treatment it requires reasonable care to maintain its appearance over time.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Michael Kors warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Michael Kors retailer, the MK8576 includes a full 2-year international manufacturer's warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Your warranty card will be validated at the time of purchase.
Q: Is the 44mm case size too large for smaller wrists?
A: The 44mm diameter represents a contemporary oversized aesthetic that suits most male wrist sizes, typically from 16cm to 20cm circumference. However, wrist shape and personal preference play significant roles in perceived fit. We strongly recommend trying the watch on at our boutique to assess comfort and proportion for your specific wrist.
Q: Can I wear this watch daily or is it only for special occasions?
A: The Slim Runway MK8576 is designed as a versatile everyday timepiece. Its two-tone finish bridges casual and formal contexts beautifully, making it suitable for office environments, social occasions, and weekend wear. The quartz movement requires no winding, and the water resistance handles daily moisture exposure with confidence.
Warranty
- This timepiece is covered by a 2-year international Michael Kors manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty protects against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- Warranty coverage includes the movement, case, dial, hands, and original bracelet or strap supplied with the watch.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, cosmetic aging, or deterioration of non-metal materials such as leather straps.
- Battery replacement is considered a consumable service and is not covered under warranty terms.
- Water damage resulting from improper use (such as operating the crown while submerged, or exceeding the stated water resistance rating) is excluded from coverage.
- Damage caused by accidents, impacts, unauthorized modifications, or servicing by non-authorized personnel will void the warranty.

Care Guide
- Clean the case and bracelet regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water to remove oils, perspiration, and environmental residue.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, detergents, and cosmetics, which may damage the gunmetal PVD coating or rose gold-tone finish.
- Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise the water resistance seals.
- Remove the watch before engaging in contact sports, heavy manual labour, or activities involving impact, as quartz movements contain delicate electronic components.
- Store the timepiece in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and magnetic fields when not being worn, ideally in the original presentation box.
- Have the water resistance tested and seals inspected every 2-3 years, particularly when replacing the battery, to maintain the 5 ATM rating.
- Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations, as rapid changes can affect timekeeping accuracy and cause condensation beneath the crystal.
- If the bracelet develops looseness or the clasp shows signs of wear, have it inspected by our service team to prevent accidental loss of the watch.
- For professional cleaning, bracelet adjustments, or battery replacement, consult Cassim & Co.'s watch servicing department to ensure proper care using appropriate tools and genuine components.
