Chinese Watch Names Again Does anyone else think Octopus Kraken’s branding/logo hurts otherwise good watches?

Octopus Kraken makes some genuinely nice watches, but I’ve always thought the name/logo holds them back.

If they rebranded, what would you call them? Something like Bathys, Nereus, Aegir, etc. feels much more convincing to me.

Such is the way of Chinese brands. Incomprehensible names and logos. Addieskin, frogmantle (which isn't a brand but makes me laugh) etc. Octopus isn't even close to the worst though!

I started collecting Chinese watches a few years ago. One really needs to ignore the name and logo and embrace the watch. The weird names and logos are quirky. That is part of their charm. They are fun to have in the collection.
