Was thinking about this lately.  Smile

I really will butcher a lot of watch brand names so much of the time. lol!
What’s funny is I will often do it on purpose too. Because I’ll see the
name, and then just say it the way it looks to me. Even though I might
know the correct way to say the name.

Honestly I just have fun with the names a lot of the time.

For instance TAG Heuer is Tag (like the game) and Heuer, is Hower,
like Howard without the D. While Hublot is Hugh Blot.  Razz

Blot, Hugh Blot.  Cool

So how about you?

Do you pronounce watch brand names correctly all the time? Or do
you pronounce them wrong some times? ..And enjoy, or have fun
doing it?

There used to be a website that had all the pronunciations, I will strive to say it right if I can.

Many are not what you think!!

You are so right Gary, you, or we will see the name, and think it’s simple to say, but it’s
not always the case right?! Smile I definitely give you credit for trying to say them correctly
sir. ..Honestly, I guess I try to say them right most times, but some times I just go with
what I am seeing. Smile

For instance, when I see Junkers, I say it the way it looks to me. cheers Which isn’t correct. lol!

Genuinely appreciate you giving your thoughts sir !!!
