Did you know (from wikipedia):
Sea devils are a family, Ceratiidae, of deep-sea anglerfishes.
The scientific name is from Greek keras meaning "horn", and refers to the bioluminescent lure that projects from the fish's forehead.
They are among the most widespread of the anglerfishes, being found in all oceans, from tropical to Antarctic. They are large, elongate anglerfishes: females of the largest species, Krøyer's deep sea angler fish, Ceratias holboelli, reach 1.2 metres (3.9 ft) in length. The males, by contrast, are dwarfed, reaching 14 centimetres (5.5 in). As in other anglerfishes, males spend much of their lives parasitically attached to the females, but they have a free-living adolescent stage in which they are very small - at most 1.3 centimetres (0.51 in) - and have sharp, beak-like, toothless jaws.
So we should refer to our Sea Devil watches in the feminine, e.g, "Isn't she purdy?" From a very ugly fish comes a very beautiful watch.
