Our verdict

A watch for someone who wants a stated 45mm dial, a 22mm strap width and a named movement type, as the listing gives them, at $526.20. Look elsewhere if you need to know which strap comes with which color, a stated weight or maker details beyond the title. The main caveat is that the movement, the 316L stainless steel case and the 3ATM figure are the listing's own claims, and none of them was verified here.

Options and pricing

There are two options, Black and Sliver (as the page spells it), both at $526.20. The listing gives one strap line, "Stainless Steel Woven Mesh Strap/Leather Strap", without saying which strap goes with which color, so the choice of strap is not clear from the page. It gives one specification list for both colors.

How it compares

The Men's Fashion Stainless Steel Automatic Mechanical Watch is $409.50 and its listing gives a movement it calls SEIKO NH35 and 20ATM, against a customized Seagull AAA movement and 3ATM on this listing at $526.20. The Men's Waterproof Stainless Steel Automatic Mechanical Watch costs $369.05 and its listing gives a 40mm case size, where this listing gives 45mm. The Wooden Mechanical Table Fully Automatic Special-shaped Black Technolog is $459.23 and its listing gives a 46mm case size.

Shipping

  • What the shipping page says. Complimentary ground shipping in 1 to 7 business days, in-store collection in 1 to 7 business days, and next-day and express options, with a pointer to delivery FAQs for methods, costs and times (checked 2026-11-11).
  • What the FAQ says. Orders are delivered from the store's "global bases factories": about 1 to 4 days of processing, then 7 to 18 days of shipping, 2 to 4 weeks in total, with tracking after processing; another answer says dispatch from the factory in 2 to 3 days and up to 10 to 12 days with the carrier. It adds that post-office limits can delay parcels and that an order cannot be cancelled after 24 hours.
  • Free shipping. The cart's free-shipping bar (in the store's page code, not a policy page) says free shipping on orders over $500. The pages we read state no shipping price for smaller orders.
  • Taxes and duties. The FAQ says the store is not responsible for international taxes and duties, and that duties and shipping fees are not refunded on a return or exchange.
  • Where it ships. The FAQ answers "Do you ship worldwide?" with yes and names no country. Nothing names the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, so confirm before you pay. A wrong address entered by the customer is the customer's responsibility once the parcel has left.

Returns and warranty

  • Returns. The refund policy gives 30 days after receiving the item to request a return. The item must be as received, unworn or unused, with tags, in its original packaging, with proof of purchase. Email [email protected] to start; the store sends a return label if it accepts the return, and items sent back without a request are not accepted. An unboxing video is required to process any refund (checked 2026-11-11).
  • Not returnable. Custom products (special orders or personalized items), perishable and personal care goods and hazardous materials cannot be returned, and the policy says it cannot accept returns on sale items or gift cards. Approved refunds go to the original payment method after inspection.
  • The pages disagree. The shipping page calls returns and exchanges "easy and complimentary, within 14 days", against 30 days in the refund policy, and the FAQ says duties and shipping fees are not refunded. Ask the store which applies before you order.
  • Faulty or wrong items. The FAQ says to email a photo and the order number to [email protected] for a faulty item, or a wrong size that was ordered correctly, and that the store then sends a free reshipment without taking the item back. No warranty terms appear on any page we read.

Discount code

  • The code. FACESTORE (labelled "25% off") is the discount code attached to this site's affiliate account for the store. The label is the code's own, not a price we checked: we did not test whether the code applies to this item, or what it takes off at checkout.
  • What the store says about discounts. Its pages give no discount-code rules. The refund policy says sale items cannot be returned and does not say whether an item bought with a code counts as one; the Terms of Service say the store may correct errors in pricing, promotions and offers, change prices without notice and cancel orders, even after you have ordered (checked 2026-11-11).

Before you buy

Aviationkart's homepage title calls it the "World's Largest Aviation Shop", but its catalog of about 3,000 items covers apparel, shoes, bags, mugs, headsets and gadgets as well as watches and jewelry. The About page calls it a family-run business that ships worldwide; the contact page gives an email address and "Munich, Germany", and the Terms of Service say the laws of India govern them (checked 2026-11-11).

This listing is a marketplace-style product sheet: the text is a supplier-style "Product information" list, and the FAQ says orders are delivered from the store's "global bases factories". Statements about materials, purity, plating, gemstones, brand and movement are the listing's own claims, which we could not verify.

The listing's title names "CIGA Design" as the brand. The store's pages do not say that it is an authorized dealer of that brand, and we could not confirm that the brand made this item.

Independent coverage: none found for this product. The only independent page found for the store is a small Trustpilot listing (7 reviews, TrustScore 2.9 when read on 11 November 2026, six of them one-star), whose newest review, dated 6 October 2026, says two expensive watches were ordered and two cheaper, different models arrived. Other reviewers there allege items that did not match the photos, unanswered support and, in one case, fraud over a drone order; one five-star review praises quality and delivery. Trustpilot does not confirm what reviewers say, and neither could we.

What we liked

  • The listing gives the case diameter, thickness, length, strap width, case material and water resistance
  • Both colors cost the same $526.20
  • The listing gives the strap width, 22mm, and the watch length, 242mm
  • The listing names a customized Seagull AAA automatic mechanical movement

Worth noting

  • The listing says the movement is a customized Seagull AAA automatic mechanical one and shows no document or maker statement for it
  • The listing's strap line gives both a stainless steel woven mesh strap and a leather strap without saying which option has which
  • The listing gives the water resistance as 3ATM with no standard named, and it gives no weight
  • The title names CIGA Design, but the listing adds no maker details beyond that

Questions before you buy

What movement does the listing give?

The listing says the movement is a customized Seagull AAA automatic mechanical movement. It shows no document for it.

What strap options and size does it list?

The listing gives a strap width of 22mm and a strap line reading "Stainless Steel Woven Mesh Strap/Leather Strap". It does not say which color comes with which strap.

What does the title say about the maker?

The title names CIGA Design and the listing adds nothing further about the maker.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

The refund policy gives 30 days to request a return of an item that is unworn or unused, with tags and original packaging, and requires an unboxing video for any refund. It says sale items cannot be returned. The shipping page says 14 days instead, so ask the store which applies.

How long does shipping take?

The store's pages disagree. The shipping page says complimentary ground shipping in 1 to 7 business days; the FAQ says 1 to 4 days of processing plus 7 to 18 days of shipping, 2 to 4 weeks in total, from factories. Duties and taxes are the customer's, and the cart bar mentions free shipping over $500.

Does Aviationkart ship to the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand?

The FAQ says yes to worldwide shipping but names no country, and no page we read lists the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand. Confirm with [email protected] before you pay, and ask what shipping costs on an order under $500.

Does the FACESTORE code work on this item?

We do not know. FACESTORE (labelled "25% off") is the code attached to this site's affiliate account; we did not test it on this item. The store's pages give no discount-code rules, and its refund policy says sale items cannot be returned.

What we couldn’t verify

  • The listing says the movement is a customized Seagull AAA automatic mechanical movement, the case is 316L stainless steel and the water resistance is 3ATM; none of it was verified here.

  • The listing gives the strap as stainless steel woven mesh or leather without saying which color has which strap, and it spells the second color "Sliver".
  • The listing's case, glass, movement, brand and water-resistance statements were not verified; we did not open, wear or test the watch.
  • We found no independent review of this product, and the store's own pages are the only source for its description, price and policies. Trustpilot's small page for the store has complaints about other items.
  • The store's pages disagree on delivery time (1 to 7 business days, 2 to 4 weeks) and on the return window (14 or 30 days), and none lists the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand.
  • Whether the FACESTORE code applies to this item was not tested; the store's pages give no discount-code rules.
