Our verdict

A men's business-style watch for someone who wants the dial diameter, thickness, mirror and band material stated on the page, at $106.99 in two options. Look elsewhere if you need a stated water resistance, a named movement maker or an explanation of the "decoration" function. The main caveat is that the listing says the movement is mechanical, the mirror is coated glass and the case is stainless steel, and none of it could be checked here.

This men's watch is $106.99 in two options, and the listing gives its movement as mechanical, its dial diameter as 40mm and its thickness as 12mm. The page also says the mirror is coated glass, the bottom is transparent, the case and buckle are stainless steel and the band is precision steel. It lists decoration and night glow as special functions, and it gives no water resistance, weight or band width.

Options and pricing

The two options are Steel strip all gold and White between steel strips, both at $106.99, so the choice is about looks and not price. The listing gives one shared set of figures and does not say whether the dial, the case or the band finish differs between the options. It gives no band width or length.

How it compares

The Double-sided hollow men's automatic mechanical watch is $105.42 and its listing gives a 42mm case and a leather strap, while the Men's Fully Automatic Mechanical Watch Stereo Relief Waterproof is $104.62 and its listing gives a 41MM case and a top layer cowhide strap. The Men's Mechanical Watch Commando Pilot Watch Switzerland costs $110.52 and its listing names an NH35 movement and a 39mm case; this listing gives a 40mm case and no water resistance.

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.

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 movement type, dial diameter, thickness, mirror, band and case material
  • The listing gives the bottom type as transparent and the crown type as flat top conical
  • The two options, Steel strip all gold and White between steel strips, are both $106.99
  • The listing says the functions are decoration and night glow

Worth noting

  • The listing gives no water resistance figure, weight or band width
  • The mechanical movement, the materials and the glass are the listing's claims and none was checked here
  • The listing names no movement maker or model
  • The listing text gives "decoration" as a function without saying what it means

Questions before you buy

What movement does the listing give?

The listing says the type of movement is mechanical and names no maker or model. The title says fully automatic, which no line in the listing repeats.

What size and materials does the listing give?

The listing gives a 40mm dial diameter, a 12mm thickness, a coated glass mirror, a stainless steel case and buckle and a precision steel band. It gives no weight.

Is the watch water resistant?

The listing gives no water resistance figure and does not say whether the watch has any.

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.

Independent

What we couldn’t verify

  • The listing says the movement is mechanical, the mirror is coated glass, the case and buckle are stainless steel and the band is precision steel; none of it was checked here.
  • The title says fully automatic; the listing's lines give only a mechanical type of movement, with no maker, model, water resistance or weight.
  • 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.
