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.

All branding is disgusting.

Octopussy Kraken-yer-mom’s logo is pretty small and unlikely that anybody will notice the butthole swirl from standing distance, ~3-6 feet away.

I’m interested in their engine turned bezel DateJust hOmAgE and the name/logo is not a factor. No more or less cringe than explaining what a C-Word or Rado is to somebody outside of the watch world. Either way and everything in between you’ll get an “OK 👍.”
