I always had a thing for watches, starting with a Casio when I was 9 or 10 years old. Then decades followed with me buying the odd fashion piece here and there but nothing “serious”. During the pandem...

Can I just say that I find none of these names weird at all. Branding is a tricky thing and sometimes companies aim for the abstract to great success. A brand isn’t about the letters but the attempt at resonating.
Google is not a word, googol is—and that in itself is weird.
What is Tinder? I mean what do those letters in that order mean?
In the world of watches, do we only care about the brand if it’s a person’s or persons’ name/s?
Shinola, Damascus, Muff Diver?
My point is it’s not just the Chinese. We can make fun but can we not single out?
Tinder is dried wood shavings or other materials used to start a fire. It dates back to the early 13th century.

I chose these brand names because they seem to just line up random English words or random latin letters. The result is nonsense. That’s a far cry from an artificial word like “Rolex” designed specifically to resonate with the customers or from letter combinations that actually mean something like IWC.
Of course this is not limited to just Chinese brand name designers. They just seem to do it most often, but I might miss a lot of other international oddities.

That’s why “Tinder” is actually a very smart brand name. “Tactical Frog” is not. Just like “Tinder Giraffe” would not have been.

And muff diving is a real activity, too, that dates back even further.

The is always the "Biden Luxury Watch". At just over $8 I might even be able to afford it.
NGL, I own a Tactical Frog. Makes me smile every time I wear it. It was at a very good price, already in the States, and eventually I'm gonna flip it to left hand drive.
But the name just makes me giggle. 😂

Fair point.

You could use all Chinese brands in your poll and just remove “chinese” from your title and I probably wouldn’t have said anything. It’s the singling out that i found unnecessary. And I’m politically incorrect.
