Michael Kors Access Lexington 2 / Bradshaw 2

In the latest news, we see Michael Kors joining Fossil as it works to increase its smartwatch line-up for 2019. The company is now adding three new wearables, all of them working on Google’s Wear OS platform. The products include Michael Kors Access MKGO, Access Lexington 2, and Access Bradshaw 2. While the first is a fitness device, the latter two are smartwatches. The MKGO is the brand’s very first fitness device. The Access MKGO is quite similar to other sporty Wear OS watches, such as the Puma Smartwatch model. The device runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor and it comes with 512MB of RAM. In addition to this, the fitness devices feature a heart rate monitor and built-in GPS. Enough about the Access MKGO, let’s focus on the two smartwatches – Access Lexington 2 and Access Bradshaw 2.

These smartwatches are made available on Michael Kors’ website. While the basic models are priced the same for Lexington 2 and Bradshaw 2, the price differs for different designs. While the Lexington 2 is available right away for purchase from Michael Kors’ website, you’ll have to wait for a few months if you are sure you want to get the Access Bradshaw 2. Let’s take a look at each of them and later, see how they compare against each other.
