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 Tissot PRX Damascus Steel is noted for its unique Damascus steel case and dial, which some owners find visually appealing and appreciate the intricate pattern. One owner enjoys looking at the watch's movement. The 38mm size is considered reasonable for the price, though it may be too small for some wrists. One owner experienced a scratch that detracted from the Damascus pattern, but this was resolved by the dealer. The reviewer found the Damascus steel case and dial to be "a bit over the top." Overall, owners and reviewers find the Tissot PRX Damascus Steel to be a unique watch with a polarizing aesthetic, with its value tied to its distinctive material.
