Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
All black, all the way through — case, bracelet, bezel, dial, subdials. The Hero 2.0 does not hedge its aesthetic, and the ionic plating is applied to the steel rather than painted over it, which matters for how long the finish holds against daily wear. At 43mm across and 11.2mm thick it is a reasonable size for the style: present on the wrist without being unwieldy, flat enough to clear a cuff without catching. The tachymeter sits on the bezel, the date falls between four and five, and the three subdials are laid into a dial that gives them room — nothing is crowded. Luminous coating on both the hands and the baton indices means it reads in low light without relying on the chronograph pushers to find the hands.

Learn more about Hugo Boss
Hugo Boss was founded as a clothing manufacturer in Metzingen in 1924. The modern company is a global fashion house, and its watches are produced under licence by Movado Group.
The watch line reflects the clothing: German minimalism, sparse dials, brushed steel, and a general absence of decoration. Movements are quartz or bought-in automatic. These are not manufacture watches and are not presented as such.
Within the licensed-fashion category, the design discipline is better than most. The dials are legible, the proportions are usually sensible, and the styling holds up rather than dating quickly.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
22mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
