Stepping up in Hugo Boss's range
The Bright Sport line positions Hugo Boss squarely in the active-casual end of the market — watches that can move from a gym bag to a dinner table without looking out of place in either direction. This one adds GMT and day-date complications to that brief, which is an unusually practical package for what is essentially a dressed-up sport watch. At 42mm with a case only 10.3mm deep, it sits flatter than most multi-function steel watches at this diameter, which means the bracelet lies closer to the wrist and the whole thing moves more naturally under a cuff. The blue dial catches light differently across its sub-dials, giving the face some visual depth without becoming busy. The 22mm lug width and the push-button deployant make for a secure, adjustable fit across a wide range of wrist sizes, and the movement itself is supplied by Seiko Instruments — reliable, hackable, and unlikely to cause any trouble.

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.
