Has anyone else thought that Zinex sounds like a brand of medicine they often advertise on TV?Drool_27.gif Sorry, no offense to the fans of the watch.


I agree on that even I don't watch American TV chanels... I personnaly don't specialy like the name. It's not easy to find and depose a name who don't exist at all and who isn't too close to another one. Anyway, they are called Zixen now. They certainly had troubles with other "Zinex" named: Like Zinex corporation who's established since 89coyote2.gif

Actually, they changed their name because a huge watch brand (with "X") in their name determined that it sounded too much like their brand. They of course have way too much money and too many resources and a small brand like Zixen could not afford to go to court against them (even if it probably would have turned out in their favor). It is sort of a similar story to what Omega did to Eddie and his "Broadarrow" brand
