I've always thought "Uranus"(Your Anus) was a very funny name...and from the crappy internal design of the early ones, I'd say someone had their head up their "bung". That or lots of '70s drugs. Space related names seemed to be close second to the 'tronics' - Polara, Pulsar, Terrestrial, Quasar, Saturn, Jupiter, Appollo(Vantage/Hamilton), Telestar....and I guess "Zodiac" would count, since astorlogy is based on moon phases and movements of the planets.

One to add Mercury

And don't forget "Phasar" .
That gets double credit in my book = both futuristic and Star Trek related! (Even if it's spelled differently)

Stunned by the Phasar

Let's not forget "Pultron". I wonder how many people bought one of those thinking they were getting a Pulsar?

Especially in German: "Zitrone" is a lemon - and also used in a figurative sense for a flawed product. If you pronounce "Zytronic" in German, it sounds exactly like "zitronig" = "lemonlike/lemonish"

My personal list of funny/odd LED watch brands:

1. Ariel (Which is also a washing powder brand in germany)
2. Compuchron - dont know how to spell thier own name, sometimes appears as "Compu Chron", sometimes as "Compuchron"
3. Croton - sounds like the french "Crouton", bread crumbs
4. Fairchild - CHild Labor???
5. Helbros - who wants a watch directly from hell's Bros?
6. Hughes Aircraft - reminds me of Mitsubishi: "We produce everything but green tea"
7. Infinite Time - Most people that wear a watch have rather limited time
8. Junghans - Where's Oldhans (German joke)
9. Kingsonic - = we ran out of ideas???
10. Macy's - WHat about Cathy's or Robert's?
11. Quartus - sounds rather like a Gladiator
12. Sabre - why not "Assault rifle", Sabres are outdated
13. Sicura - I'd buy a lock from a company like that, but a watch?
14. Swissonic - Oh come on, swiss patriotism. Why not cheesesonic?
15. tel Star - not to be confused with the sattelite
16. Time-Date - Awesome name for a watch, no comment
17. Trafalgar - only "King George" could sound more english
18. Vulcain - Mr. Spock???
