Stepping up in the same colour and case shape

Price range £65 to £399 across 137 Hugo Boss watches in stock.

All black from case to clasp, the Smash sits at the sharper, more directorial end of what HUGO produces — a line built around mesh and monochrome rather than the dressier territory BOSS occupies. The 157-series prefix places this among the gift-set configurations, here paired with a branded cardholder that shares the same tonal logic as the watch. At 43mm in black IP steel on a mesh bracelet, it wears as an unambiguous statement of intent: nothing catches the light differently, nothing breaks the darkness of the dial. Mesh this fine tends to drape rather than sit rigid, which keeps a case this size from feeling heavy on the wrist across a long day.

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 explained

Will 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 compared

Does it need a battery?

No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.

Quartz, automatic and solar compared

F.Hinds is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
