Some find the "Night Birch" dial stunning and appreciate the Evo 9 case design, while others note the dial texture appears less pronounced on its matte black surface and criticize the handset's proportions and lack of lume. The Grand Seiko SLGH017 is priced at €10,500. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Grand Seiko SLGH017 highly for its lightweight titanium construction and impeccable finishing.

The COSC-certified NN08S movement is noted for accuracy. However, some find the price point high and question its value, while concerns exist regarding skeleton hand and lume legibility. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Norqain Wild ONE's innovative case construction and distinctive dial, though value perception and legibility are points of contention.
