The Wild One is a substantial watch in every sense of the word, it walks right up the line of being overbearing, and takes a healthy step back. The multi-part case can withstand incredible amounts of brute force (5,000 Gs!), featuring a new proprietary material, called Norteq, that’s 3.5 times lighter than titanium, and more importantly, a hard rubber shock absorber that provides enough heft to the watch to overcome any lightweight, plastic-y feeling that’s often a side effect of composites similar to Norteq, which presents as forged carbon in appearance.

When I'm rock climbing, I like to really take my time when looking at my watch. I usually hang by one hand over a cliff face and let the sun glance off the dial while trying to decide how much sunlight is left. Busy, black dial with no lume; sign me up! This is the perfect adventure watch!
😅 must be the sales pitch for this watch
Who is this for at this price point? It's kinda cool, but holy cow not at this price.
Nice to see someone give a genuine review that tells it like it is for once! I agree with you on virtually every point--love the green and black colorway on the case and bracelet, but pairing it with that particular dial, markers and handset doesn't make sense and turns what could have been a cool tactical watch into one with a confused identity.
Five thousand dollars??!
Almost decided to get one but the legibility was lacking and minimal lume. However, they are going in a great direction!
My brother bought it and returned it. It felt like a toy! Not woth the money at all.
Carbon fiber, but with more plastic? Eh not a huge fan, especially for the price.
I hear these composite pieces really look beat up after a short time

Great plastic watch. Trying to hard here
Nice video mate 🥃
Appreciate you watching!
That’s crack pipe pricing for a deeply compromised design. If this style is your bag, buy the Formex for less than half the price.
Heroin** but this brand can mature a bit more and perhaps we het better version of it
In my opinion Norqain make nice looking watches, but founded in 2018 they need to prove themselves and calm down on the pricing. They're too fresh to make an opinion in terms of longevity. How much will they charge for service etc? Using Tudor's movement has gone to their head and think they can charge more than Tudor. Fortis has done the same with their latest models. Other than that, it's a cool looking watch, just needs to be cheaper.
Imagine how deeply scratched this Happy Meal thing is going to be after a few ‘adventures’ into your desk drawer.
I like the idea. But it's a rip off for the 5K you can do so much better
I like the strap…
Not my cup a 🍵 😢
This watch looks incredible, too bad its only offered in 42mm.
Would be cool to see it in a 38-40mm
Not at 5k, no thnx
Sorry, BUT DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL...., 🥺
