Men's Automatic Mechanical Watch, 38mm Review

A men's sports watch listed at $114.26 in two colors, White Shell and Gold Shell. The listing says it has a stainless steel case, a 38mm dial and 50m water resistance, and the title calls it automatic mechanical, which no movement line confirms.

Our verdict

A men's sports watch for someone who wants a 38mm dial, a stainless steel case and a 50m figure stated on the page at $114.26, in two colors at one price. Look elsewhere if you need a movement line, a mirror or strap material or a standard behind the 50m figure, since the listing gives none of them even though the title says automatic mechanical. The main caveat is that every statement is the listing's own claim, which we could not check.

At $114.26 for either of two colors, this is a men's sports watch whose title says automatic mechanical and waterproof. The listing says the case is stainless steel and gives a 38mm dial diameter, a 12mm thickness and a water resistance of 50m, with an onion watch crown and a butterfly double snap-fastener. The listing gives no movement line, no mirror material and no strap material.

Options and pricing

There are two options, White Shell and Gold Shell, and both cost $114.26. The listing's color line describes them as a white shell with a gray surface steel belt and a gold shell with a gray surface steel belt, so the shell color is the difference the listing names. The listing gives one specification list for both and does not say whether anything beyond the color differs.

How it compares

The LOREO watch men's mechanical watch costs $112.95 and its listing gives the same 50m of water resistance with a 41mm size and a movement line, where this listing gives 38mm and no movement line. The Men's NH35 Movement Business Waterproof Mechanical Watch is $113.88 with 100m in its listing. The Tungsten steel waterproof mechanical watch is $113.61 and its listing gives a 42mm 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.

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 dial diameter, thickness, case material and water resistance in separate lines
  • Both colors cost the same $114.26
  • The listing names the clasp as a butterfly double snap-fastener and the crown as an onion watch crown
  • The listing describes each color by shell and surface, so the two options are easy to tell apart

Worth noting

  • The title says automatic mechanical, and no movement line in the listing backs it
  • The listing gives no mirror material, strap material or weight
  • The listing gives the 50m figure with no standard named, next to a title that says waterproof
  • The case, dial and water figures are the listing's own claims, and none was checked here

Questions before you buy

Is a movement named anywhere in the listing?

No. The title says automatic mechanical, but the listing gives no movement line, so nothing else on the page backs that wording.

What are the two colors?

The listing names them White Shell and Gold Shell, both at $114.26, and describes them as white shell gray surface steel belt and gold shell gray surface steel belt.

What size and water resistance does it give?

The listing gives a dial diameter of 38mm, a thickness of 12mm and water resistance of 50m, and it names no standard for the 50m figure.

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 title says automatic mechanical and waterproof, but the listing gives no movement line, and its only water line gives 50m with no standard named.
  • The listing says the case is stainless steel and the water resistance is 50m; none of it was checked here.
  • The listing gives no mirror material, strap material 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.
