Walmart Mainstays Wok is definitely coated in some sort of cheap Teflon/PTFE-based coating. My mom has bought this before, and I forced her to toss it. While these cheap coatings are fine for low to medium heat, they quickly break down under high heat (aka wok cooking) and can be dangerous for your health. And don't just take my word for it, a quick Google search shows many people have asked about this wok in the past.
Unlike your Walmart wok, the Amazon wok CLEARLY states it's pre-seasoned and "naturally" nonstick: claims that are clearly not made by the Walmart wok, bc you can't season PTFE coatings.
A few observations:
1. Although the description says pre-seasoned, the instructions that come with it tell you to wash it thoroughly with soap and water, and then tells you to season with sunflower seed oil it a few times. It doesn't say anywhere on the packaging that is was pre-seasoned. Since the instructions tell you to wash it with soap first, I didn't chance it to not have leftover manufacturing toxins and gave it a thorough first wash and gave it 4 cycles of full seasoning.
2. Besides that, the quality seems good, the wooden handle is solid, and the weight (gauge) of the carbon steel is pretty heavy which is what you'd want. Any heavier and I doubt most people would find it easy to use.
Hope this helps!

Actually, that was what I fully expected! But there's no PTFE coating, just smooth machining.
Here's what the label on the product says in terms of warnings:
---
This product contains: Carbon black (airborne, unbound particles of respirable size), aluminum, manganese and manganese compounds, phosphorus, chromium compounds, nickel and nickel compounds, iron. For more information about chemicals in this product, visit walmart.com/ip/5072166183

The website only has the same info - all the mentions of nonstick just seems to be the factory finish. All the metals listed above are just the recipe for modern carbon steel as far as I can tell.
All the PTFE coatings I've seen have come with many more warnings, especially temperature warnings. It certainly doesn't feel like any teflon or similar coatings I've encountered on previous nonstick I've encountered at least. Just seems a smooth metal finish. Looking real close, the splotchyness and matte nature is just the metal with the extra carbon melded in, not any coating at least.
Sometimes 'normal' stuff can be more high-quality than you expect.
