Michael Kors MK8362 Gage Brown Watch Review

Stylish. Classy. Contemporary. These are just some of the long list of impressions that should come to your mind when you’re feeling the Michael Kors Gage Brown Watch MK8362 in the palm of your hand. You simply can’t help but be drawn in to a high fashion world or the allure that world brings to mind. This should not be a surprise. After all, you are holding an accessory that has the label ‘Michael Kors’ on it.

Featuring a classic stainless steel case, elegant leather strap, chronograph and a blue dial, the MK8362 takes the typical men’s brown watch dress watch to a whole other level. There’s nothing passive or bland about this watch. This imported 45mm diameter watch may seem simple but it is never boring. It brings lots of class to a simple form factor.

Whether you’re looking going to a job interview and need something conservative to wear on your wrist which doesn’t look boring or you’re simply looking for a semi-casual watch you can lounge in a wide range of settings with, the MK8362 has you covered. If you have owned your fair share of men’s active and dress watches, you would know that this versatility is no small feat.

MK8362 Casual Design

With it’s nice and dignified stainless steel case, understated color combination, conservative yet classy leather strap with its blue dial adding a dash of daring, this timepiece is a credible entry by Michael Kors in the all too competitive world of men’s dress watches. Make no mistake about it making a dent in this market isn’t exactly easy. Considering the huge number of Swiss, Japanese, and Scandinavian heavyweight brands in this market segment of the global men’s watch market, any contender definitely has to ‘bring it’ when it comes to value.

While it is easy to spot the rather flat and generic impression this model’s combination of the dial, watch face, and strap brings to the table, most watch brands caught up in the competitive dynamics of the men’s watch market would love to have these problems.

Indeed, if you’re just looking for a great watch to wear in a wide range of social engagements or even semi-outdoor events, the Gage Brown Watch definitely has a lot to offer. Best of all, you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to step out with this very versatile piece.

Basic Quartz Movement

Since the MK8362 Gage highlights the jet-set lifestyle and high fashion credentials of the Michael Kors brand, it gets instant credibility. Formulaic design elements aside, this battery-powered watch gives off all the right impressions. Normally, a classy watch that you won’t be embarrassed about would cost an arm and a leg.

Well, if you are wondering how Michael Kors was able to pull off this improbable pairing of class, elegance, and relatively low pricing, you only need to look at its quartz movement type.

Usually, when top watch brands want to reduce costs, they use a quartz movement system. With that said, don’t for a second think that just because this Michael Kors unit comes with a quartz system that it can be written off. Not by a long shot. Not only do you get a nice looking classy watch, you also get to avoid the poorhouse with this model thanks to its quartz movement.

This timepiece already brings a lot to the table in terms of its overall value. Well, it looks like the design minds at Michael Kors didn’t want to just give you a classy highly versatile watch, they also wanted to broaden your geographic range with this model. And they definitely succeeded. Thanks to this watch’s water resistance to 300 feet, you don’t have to stress if you find yourself at a cocktail party next to the slippery edges of an infinity pool or reflecting pool.

Final Thoughts

If you are looking for a nice mix of a conservative look, elegance, world-class fashion sophistication, and affordability, it is very hard to resist the imported Michael Kors Men’s Gage Brown Watch MK8362 battery-powered creation.
