Michael Kors released a second generation of his Access Sofie smart health connected watch. Among other things, she now has a heart sensor.

We have always been design fans Michael Kors smart health connected watches. With Access Sofie 2, the brand continues its momentum and adds some technical surprises.

Nice technical sheet for Access Sofie 2

The Michael Kors Access Sofie 2 runs under the Google Wear OS and integrates Google Assistant. To record her user's performance, she connects to Google Fit or other health apps. Compared to the first generation, this Sofie has a GPS (for sport) and a chip NFC (for mobile payments). Swimmers will be able to wear it as well. waterproof up to 30 meters deep. Internal storage side, the Sofie 2 displays 4GB. And an 300 mAh battery provides food. Unfortunately, the Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor chosen begins to date.

Second heart sensor for a Michael Kors

If we have nothing to say about the aesthetics of smartwatches Michael Kors, we deplore in the past their lack of features. Seeming to have listened to the critics, the designer and his team propose the heart rate monitoring on the Sofie 2. But heart sensors are now the norm on any self-respecting watch. Moreover, the Access Runway, another model of the house, already has one. However, Michael Kors opted for a sensor that works photoplethysmography (PPG). This technology is much less reliable than the one on the latest Apple Watch. The latter uses an electrocardiogram. Indeed, the PPG sensors would lose effectiveness on people who are slightly corpulent or with dark skin.

Even so, Access Sofie 2 is a nice addition to Michael Kors smart health connected watches. It is proposed from $ 325 in the United States. As for its French tariff, it should turn around 369 euros of the first generation.
