The HUGO Analogue Quartz Watch for Men Collection #First is currently available on Amazon for £69.99, reduced from its £119 RRP, saving 41%. The watch features a 3-hand Quartz Movement, a 43mm case diameter, and a 9.3mm case thickness. It also includes a vertically brushed blue dial, which offers a subtle colour contrast without being overly bold.
Design and Features
This version comes with a stainless steel bracelet, although the Collection #First range is also available with a leather strap. According to HUGO, the watch offers 3ATM water resistance, meaning faucet spray or rain should not cause issues provided the case, crown and crystal remain intact. The combination of a brushed blue dial and polished stainless steel bracelet gives the watch a smart, versatile appearance that can work across a variety of occasions. The blue dial is designed to look understated indoors while offering more noticeable colour in brighter light.
Customer Reviews
Many buyers have highlighted its appearance and value compared with more expensive designer alternatives. One customer who bought the watch as a gift wrote: "I bought this for my boyfriend's 18th birthday. A nice 'cheaper' watch yet still has a luxury value. It looks amazing and very stylish. The blue is almost black but clearly blue in the sun, making it versatile." Another reviewer was impressed by the presentation and finish, writing: "Lovely watch. It comes in the HUGO watch box and feels very luxurious for the price." Not every review was completely positive. One buyer commented: "Not the sexiest HUGO gift box. The watch is just dropped into it. The strap is big and would fit an XL wrist easily." A further customer praised the versatility of the watch, saying: "A watch that can be worn on many occasions. It looks great and has a nice large dial. I had to remove a couple of links, but once adjusted it fits perfectly. Highly recommend." One criticism raised by some buyers related to the watch's size. A reviewer wrote: "This is one chunky watch, it is massive. If large watches are your thing then knock yourself out, if not, then forget it."

For those considering alternatives, the Sekonda Taylor Men's Watch with a silver case, stainless steel bracelet and black dial is currently available from Sekonda for £54.99. Another option is the Casio EFK-200CD-1A, which is currently priced at £290 on the Casio website.
