Nxtedit vs Fastrack vs Vincent Chase: Where We Fit on Price and Quality

Quick Answer

Fastrack and Vincent Chase are the cheapest way into branded sunglasses in India, starting at about ₹950 and ₹999. Nxtedit starts at ₹1,899 and tops out at ₹3,499. What that extra money buys is the part the budget brands skip: statement acetate and metal frames, a rigid premium box with a pouch and microfibre cloth, and a finish that feels closer to a ₹6,000 designer pair. If you want the lowest price, pick Fastrack or Vincent Chase. If you want the lowest price for a genuine luxury feel, Nxtedit is the better fit.

Why compare these three

Search for sunglasses for men in India and two names keep coming up: Fastrack and Vincent Chase. Both are backed by big companies and sell everywhere from malls to Amazon. Nxtedit is newer and smaller, so the fair question is where it fits next to them, and whether the higher starting price is worth it. Here is the honest answer, including where the bigger brands win.

Meet the brands

Fastrack is Titan's youth brand, known for bold colours, sporty shapes and student-friendly prices.

Vincent Chase is Lenskart's in-house label, with a huge range, a polarized line, app try-on and frequent Buy 1 Get 1 offers for Gold members.

Nxtedit is a New Delhi brand run by Taproot Enterprises LLP, selling direct from nxtedit.com with over 30 signature styles and more than 100 sunglasses. Its pitch: bold everyday frames designed to stand out.

Price compared

Nxtedit is not the cheapest pair here. It sits between the budget brands and premium labels like Ray-Ban, which is exactly where it is built to win: a premium look and feel without spending ₹5,000 or more. Code LAUNCH10 takes 10% off sitewide, and shipping is free above ₹3,000.

Lens quality and UV protection

All three brands advertise UV protection, and all three offer polarized options.

Nxtedit states UV400, meaning 100% of UVA and UVB rays are blocked. Look for that label on any pair, because a dark lens is not a protective lens. Tint only cuts brightness.

Nxtedit also has a dedicated polarized range. Polarized lenses cut glare from roads and water, which makes them the best sunglasses for men who drive on highways or ride daily. On lenses alone, the three brands are close. The real difference is frames and finish.

Frame design and style

This is where the brands split.

Fastrack leans sporty and colourful. Vincent Chase offers safe classics like wayfarers, aviators and clubmasters.

Nxtedit goes for statement design: rimless gold edges on Edge Luxe, a keyhole bridge on Mocha Frame, tortoise acetate on Tortoise Luxe, a halo-thin round on Olive Halo. These are details usually seen on designer frames at ₹6,000 and up, built lightweight for all-day comfort. Want a pair people ask about? Nxtedit. Want a safe shape at the lowest cost? Vincent Chase.

Packaging and unboxing

Budget brands save money on packaging. Nxtedit does the opposite. Every order ships in a rigid sunglasses box with a protective pouch and a microfibre cleaning cloth, and the brand treats this packaging as part of the product.

Why it matters:

• Protection: a hard box keeps lenses safe from scratches in your bag.
• Care: a microfibre cloth protects the lens coating that a shirt sleeve slowly damages.
• Gifting: opening a premium box feels like a luxury purchase, which is why Nxtedit works well as a Rakhi, Diwali or birthday gift.

This is the clearest reason Nxtedit feels like a ₹6,000 pair at half the price.

Returns and warranty

Here the bigger brands have an edge. Nxtedit gives you 3 days from delivery to request a return, shorter than many large retailers. Damaged, defective or wrong products get a full refund, free replacement or store credit, with reverse pickup paid by Nxtedit. Change-of-mind returns get store credit minus a ₹100 fee, or one exchange. Keep tags and the box intact, and check the fit the day your order arrives.

• Coastal Line for beach and water glare

Who should buy which

Choose Fastrack if your budget is under ₹1,200 and you want a sporty, colourful first pair.

Choose Nxtedit if you want sunglasses for men or women that look and feel premium, arrive in a luxury box, and still cost under ₹3,500. On price-to-feel, that makes it the best sunglasses brand in the gap between budget names and ₹5,000+ labels.
