Stepping up in Hugo Boss's range
The #Fast For Her collection takes its cues from motorsport — the tachymeter bezel and checkerboard detailing are deliberate references rather than decoration — translated here into an all-gold-tone package aimed at a wrist that wants that language without the bulk that usually comes with it. At 38mm the case is confident without being aggressive, and the monochromatic treatment across case, dial and bracelet means the sub-dials read as part of the design rather than an interruption to it. The deployment clasp makes the bracelet significantly easier to put on and take off than a conventional fold-over would, which matters more on a bracelet watch worn daily than it might seem.

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?
18mm. 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.
