watches or brands we dislike

[MortenKN]

Hate is a strong word, but Linde Werdelin comes close to that term for me. I used to like them, but then they revealed their true colors with the Oktopus II...... All design, no function. A brand that launches a diving watch and claims that the rotating bezel is unnessesary on dive watches because of the use of the computers - and at the same time is producing these computers to click on any watch in their own lineup, is a complete joke to me. Oktopus II is completely unnessesary in every aspect, yet they still charge a premium for it, while stuffing it with any random caliber they can find. Anyone who buys is and pays that amount of money for a divewatch that is not a divewatch, is just dumb.....And the worst part is that I suspect Linde Werdelin thinks so too. I mean come on. Why would you want to pay 8-9K EUR for a "dive" watch that only becomes a dive watch when you click on an instrument - When you could buy the cheapest model in the lineup and get the EXACT same capabilities in that watch, at a fraction of the price... Dumb Sh*t, point blank!
