Also, perhaps it would have been better to pick a bigger wrist to show better fit.

I agree about the model name (nothing in urban dictionary changes this), and also have issues with the brand name. Both have negative connotations.

The watch design is, to my eyes, a mess anyway: It wants to be a diver but also look cool in the club? Got me. Hard pass on this one.
Just my $0.02 USD as always.

Good idea re urban dictionary - thanks for checking. Maybe they have run out of aquatic animals and ocean-related things to call a dive watch. I recently joked with a friend that if ever I have a watch company and release a dive watch, I'd call it Loveland.

On a related note, found this old thread over at WUS: https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/what ... er.237068/

Some are funny, some a bit dodgy (making fun of people's name is big no no for me). This literally made me almost spit out my breakfast:

"Kadloo - sounds like a toilet for persons of bad character"

Looks like preorder phase is over.
Regular price has also looked to have dropped.
Green and copper colorways are SOLD OUT.
Very little stock left on the other colors.
