FAQs
What does 5 ATM water resistance mean for my watch?
5 ATM (5 atmospheres) means your watch is resistant to splashes, rain, and short periods of recreational swimming. However, it is not suitable for showering, bathing, diving, or prolonged submersion in water, as these activities can compromise the watch's seals.
How should I clean my Michael Kors Ritz Watch?
Gently wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and oils. For the stainless steel bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure it is dried thoroughly afterward. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Can I replace the battery myself?
It is strongly recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker or an authorized Michael Kors service center. This ensures the correct battery is used, and more importantly, that the watch's water resistance seal is properly re-sealed after opening.
Is the rose gold-tone finish durable?
The rose gold-tone finish is designed for durability and is applied through a plating process. While generally robust, it can be susceptible to scratches and wear over time, especially with impact or abrasion. Proper care and avoiding harsh chemicals will help maintain its appearance.
What type of warranty does this watch come with?
The Michael Kors Ritz Watch - MK6485 comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. This warranty typically covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, but does not cover normal wear and tear, battery changes, or damage from improper use or accidents.
How do I set the time on my watch?
To set the time, gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to its time-setting position. Rotate the crown to move the hands to the correct time. Once set, push the crown back in completely against the watch case to start the watch and maintain water resistance.
Are the cubic zirconia stones real diamonds?
No, the stones used in the bezel are cubic zirconia (CZ), which are synthetic gemstones. They are chosen for their brilliant sparkle and affordability, providing an elegant aesthetic similar to diamonds at a more accessible price point.
Troubleshooting
Watch not keeping accurate time.
First, ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch is still losing or gaining significant time, the battery may be running low and require replacement. It's best to consult a professional watchmaker.
Watch stops completely.
This is typically an indication that the battery has run out. Take your watch to a qualified watch technician for a battery replacement to ensure the water resistance is maintained.
Bracelet feels too loose or too tight.
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by adding or removing links. We recommend visiting a professional jeweler or watch technician for this service to avoid accidental damage.
Sub-dials (chronograph) not resetting correctly.
Refer to your watch's specific instruction manual for chronograph reset procedures. Typically, this involves pulling the crown out to a specific position and pressing the chronograph pushers in a sequence. If issues persist, a service may be required.
Moisture or fog appears under the watch glass.
This indicates that the watch's water resistance has been compromised. Stop wearing the watch immediately and take it to a professional watchmaker for inspection and repair. Do not attempt to dry it yourself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Setting the Time: Gently pull out the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch) to the first or second position (refer to the specific instruction manual for your model as positions vary). Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Once set, push the crown back in completely to ensure the watch begins ticking and to maintain water resistance.
- Bracelet Adjustment: The stainless steel bracelet is designed to be adjustable. If the watch feels too loose or too tight, it will likely require links to be added or removed. It is highly recommended to have this done by a professional jeweler or watch technician to avoid damaging the bracelet or clasp.
Compatibility
This Michael Kors Ritz Watch is a highly versatile accessory designed to complement a wide range of fashion styles. Its rose gold-tone and elegant design make it suitable for:
- Everyday Wear: Elevate your daily attire with a touch of glamour.
- Business & Professional Settings: Adds a sophisticated touch to work ensembles.
- Casual & Social Events: Perfect for brunches, dinners, and gatherings.
- Formal Occasions: The cubic zirconia bezel and polished finish make it suitable for more elegant events.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, oils, and perspiration. For the stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring it is dried thoroughly afterward. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals.
- Water Resistance: Your watch has a 5 ATM water resistance rating. This means it is resistant to splashes, rain, and brief periods of recreational swimming (e.g., shallow swimming). Do not wear it while showering, bathing, snorkeling, or diving, as prolonged exposure or high-pressure water can compromise the seals.
- Avoid Impact: Protect your watch from hard knocks and impacts, which can damage the mineral glass, internal movement, or exterior finish, particularly the cubic zirconia embellishments.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, hot or cold, as this can affect the battery life and the performance of the movement.
- Battery Replacement: When the battery needs replacement (typically every 1-3 years), it is strongly recommended to take it to a certified watch repair service or an authorized Michael Kors dealer. This ensures the correct battery is used and the water resistance seal is properly reinstalled.
