FAQs
How do I set the time on my HUGO First Watch?
Gently pull out the crown (the knob on the side) to the first position. Rotate the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Once set, push the crown back in fully.
Is this watch suitable for swimming?
No, the HUGO First Watch has a water resistance rating of 30 meters (3 ATM), which means it is suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion but not for swimming, showering, or diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time to maintain water resistance.
What kind of battery does it use, and how long does it last?
The watch uses a standard quartz watch battery. The typical battery life for quartz watches is 2-3 years, but this can vary depending on usage. When the battery needs replacement, it's recommended to have it done by a professional watchmaker.
How durable is the black ion plating?
The black ion plating (IP) is a durable coating designed to resist everyday wear and minor scratches better than standard PVD coatings. However, it can still be scratched or chipped with harsh impacts or abrasive materials. Proper care, such as avoiding contact with rough surfaces, will help maintain its appearance.
Can I replace the bracelet with a different strap?
While technically possible, replacing the integrated ion-plated bracelet would require specific tools and knowledge to ensure proper fit and to avoid damaging the watch case. It's often best to consult a watch repair professional if you wish to explore alternative strap options.
Troubleshooting
Watch is not running or keeping correct time.
First, ensure the crown is pushed in all the way. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watchmaker for battery replacement.
The bracelet feels too tight or too loose.
The bracelet links may need adjustment. This typically requires specialized tools and is best done by a professional jeweler or watch repair service to avoid damage.
Condensation or moisture appears under the watch glass.
This could indicate a breach in the watch's water resistance seals. Avoid further contact with water and have the watch inspected by a professional watchmaker as soon as possible to prevent damage to the movement.
The ion-plated finish shows scratches or wear.
While ion plating is durable, it is not impervious to deep scratches or abrasive contact. Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out by a professional, but significant wear may require re-plating by a specialist.
Pros and Cons

Cons

No Advanced Functions: Lacks features like a date display, chronograph, or luminous hands for low-light visibility.
Case Size: The 43mm case might be considered large for some wrist sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Setting the Time: Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch) outwards until it clicks to the first position. Rotate the crown to move the hands and set the correct time. Once set, push the crown back in fully to start the watch and ensure water resistance.
Compatibility
This watch is designed for men and features a classic yet modern aesthetic suitable for a wide range of personal styles and occasions. Its black IP finish allows it to pair well with both casual and formal attire.
Care & Maintenance
Cleaning: Regularly wipe your watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils. For stubborn grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by drying.
Water Resistance: Remember the 30-meter water resistance rating. This means the watch is resistant to splashes, rain, and accidental brief immersion. Do NOT wear it while swimming, showering, bathing, or engaging in water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
Avoid Chemicals: Keep your watch away from harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cleaning products, as these can damage the ion plating, seals, or dial components.
Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (hot baths, saunas) or rapid temperature changes, as this can affect the seals and movement.
Storage: When not in use, store your watch in its original HUGO box or a soft pouch to protect it from dust and scratches. Avoid storing it near magnetic fields, which can affect quartz movement accuracy.
Battery Replacement: The quartz movement is powered by a standard watch battery. When the watch stops, it's time for a battery replacement. We recommend having this done by a professional watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and battery type.
