I found this while looking for the Oakley small watch vault, which has been out of stock both here and on the manufacturer website for a long time. I bought one of the Oakleys some time ago and wanted to pick up another. In my unsuccessful search for what seems a perpetually out-of-stock product, I came across this CASEBUDi and ordered it (It arrived the next day -- Thank you Amazon Prime!). It is very similar in design to the Oakley, a bit larger overall dimensions, though I don't think it's roomier inside. It does fit my 43mm Seiko chrono just fine.I do think the Oakley is better finished, but this seems to have all the utility, and at half the price. And more important, you can actually get this one. It holds your watch securely in a curved position, as on the wrist or a cushion, without letting either clasp or inside of bracelet scratch, as will flat cases. If you're looking for a single watch case that you can toss in a drawer, or your luggage, or keep in the glove compartment, this one will fit the bill quite nicely. If you don't mind waiting for the Oakley to be available and the ten dollar difference doesn't matter to you, there's that option as well.Bought this for my Rolex which has a 35mm case. Fits in there very loose. I used a microfiber cloth to wrap around the watch to help keep it more snug inside. The quality is pretty good, although I did find some imperfections in the outer fabric surface. The shell material feels like stiff cardboard. I wish it was harder and more stiff as I plan to be traveling a lot with this and throwing it in my luggage or bag. My only concern with it, if it is stiff cardboard, is that over time with repeated compression and bending cardboard tends to lose its stiffness and becomes soft and malleable.I also tested this with a Casio Pathfinder which has a 50mm case and I was able to close the zipper all the way. It's a very tight fit and it worked, but each time I try to close the zipper one of the side buttons would get pressed. Not a big deal, but not sure if the tightness will compromise the case long term as it does put stress on the shell. So I probably wouldn't recommend doing this too often.I am not a "watch guy" but do own a few I rotate between. I ended up getting two of these cases. I leave the thing unzipped and open on my dresser, which holds 4 watches. Not as nice as a fancy watch case/box with a cover, etc. by any means, but works out well for my needs. Simple and easy.When I would like to bring another 1-2 watches when traveling, in addition to the one I'm wearing, this case works very well. I have zero concerns about the watch getting banged around, regardless of if I pack tight or not. I followed the sizing instructions listed and had no problem. I have no concerns about the zipper breaking. The case is firm, and looks as-pictured.Overall, a very good quality travel case that I have been able to use for every day use. In my opinion, very worth it --- especially at the price to protect your watch --- and would buy again if/when need another case like this.Exactly what I was looking for. Perfect if you're traveling and only bringing 2 watches. Sometimes, I just don't need a full watch roll, and this fits the bill perfectly. Just throw it in your overnight bag, and you're good. Quality seems pretty solid, and the "dimples" in the middle seem to do a good job of stabilizing the watch inside. Would totally recommend. Make sure you get the right size for your needs.I travel some, and I really don't like being forced to wear my Apple Watch at all times on the plane where I'm surrounded by clumsy passengers or the chance of being bashed into by the metal food cart!The CASEBUDi (what a crazy name) works absolutely perfectly for my 42mm stainless steel Apple Watch with Large Black Leather Loop. It fits easily, barely moves at all inside the case, and the outside is really strong. You'd need a huge amount of direct physical pressure to compress the case down to hurt your watch. It's VERY solid. The zipper never comes into contact with the interior of the case, either, which is good since zippers + metal watch = bad!Overall, I'm very happy with this case, and recommend it to all those looking for a compact, strong, reliable case for their new 42mm Apple Watch (or regular watch, of course!).5 stars out of 5. Highly recommended.I bike about 6 miles each way to work, and I really didn't like the idea of wearing my nice watch in the event that I fall or encounter inclement weather while on the road. I always wear a backpack to carry my work clothes, shoes, etc., but never felt comfortable just throwing my watch in there unprotected for fear of the bezel getting scratched or worse. Some searching on Amazon brought me to this watch holder, and I could not be happier with the result. My watch fits in the case perfectly, and the dimples on each side of the case keep the watch from folding in on itself. Now my watch is protected from the weather, potentially hazardous road conditions, and from the other things I keep in my bag that could scratch it. I've also taken this case on several long-haul trips overseas, and the case protected my watch in my carry-on luggage, and even once in my checked bag (which was an accident on my part, so I was relieved the case kept the watch safe). Highly recommended!This is a protective Hard case that fits perfect in my pocket. There is only enough room for my watch . The inside is soft and non abrasive. My ceramic Movado sits comfortable without worry of it breaking or scratching. This thing is perfect. I can take off my Movado watch at work and put it in this case and slip this case into my pocket and proceed to work without worries of breaking my precious jewelry. If I drop my watch and it is inside this case I will not worry. The case is very high quality and the zipper and inside zipper seam is the best I have seen.packaging is professionalshipping was fast and easy as always.Although it doesn't say so in the listing, this is the MEDIUM sized case for watches up to 42mm diameter. The small is for a ladies watch, and the large will fit an oversize, or sport type watch with a case width up to 50mm.Don't be tempted into saving money by purchasing one of the strangely similar, but cheaper, look-alike cases on offer because they have cheap zips and soft shells that offer little protection to your valued timepiece. The Casebudi uses a chunky and strong YKK zip and the shell, whilst forgiving, is nice and firm. It's neat, attractive, unobtrusive and well made.I have a number of watches and they usually sit flat in a drawer. A recent accidental scratching incident persuaded me to try storing them in these instead, and now I know for sure they're safe! It also takes the stress away from carrying a dress watch for that occasional formal event on holiday or during business trips.Casebudi make a wider range of watch cases than are currently available here at Amazon, many of them good looking. There's the Deluxe (which contains a cushion), Leather, Custom Engraved Personalised, and some funky colour options too. Lets hope Amazon begin stocking them soon.I got this as a Christmas gift for my husband as when we travel he likes to take more than one watch - a casual and a "dress" watch. This is perfect for putting the watch in our hand luggage so that it doesn't get dirty, knocked about or scratched. We have used this when flying and it adds an element of reassurance as my husband can easily find the watch in his hand luggage, and not wonder where he left it last.The zipper feels secure and we are reassured that his watch will be well protected in its lightly padded interior.Only thing is it may not fit a watch with a very large face, but it is something that I would buy again.This is a truly good quality item. I found the case to be well-made and robust and I had no qualms about housing a fairly precious watch in it.I bought the medium-sized case and it was more than big enough for my largest watch. I can't imagine what gargantuan monstrosities of wrist jewellery would justify the purchase of the large-sized case, but if I ever did acquire a particularly large watch then I would definitely buy this brand again.This was size medium which fits up to 44mm as stated on the box, which it doesn't say above on this page, and fit my 40mm watch well. Its not too tight which is what i wanted, because i also like to wrap my watch in a cleaning cloth (the type you get with sunglasses or spectacles) as i often like to clean my watch after a couple of days to get all the grub marks off. This also gives it a bit extra protection from rubbing marks and scratches when in a case.Excellent. Its really good. I am happy with my standard size or medium size casebudi. Its just what I needed. Quality is good. YKK zipper is good. Fits my Seiko turtle watch just right and the design stops the watch getting scratched on its case back. Small enough to easily fit in your pocket too. Comes boxed with a couple of product leaflets. Its made from ballistic nylon.
