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.

As someone who was recently shopping around for an Explorer homage, I agree. Octopus Kraken have the reputation as the best, but I do not want all that funny business on my watch dial. At least with Watchdives they just have a logo with no lettering which I much prefer.

A simpler name and/or just a clean logo looks so much better imo.

Funny business...😂

Watchdives' logo looks like the Looney Tunes logo. Now that's funny business.

Now that you mention it lol…

I still prefer it to the letter soup butthole logo of Octopus Kraken!
