I ordered this spiffy looking watch box to hold my little watch collection. They're nothing too expensive, four Unlisted by Kenneth Cole Watches, two sport watches my dad got me, and my favorite Invicta given to me by my ex. I did, however, want something to put them all in once place as hanging on to eight individual watch boxes was a little silly. This case seemed to fit the bill perfectly and upon receiving the item, still does. There is one minor flaw that I will explain later in the review.

The quality of the box is pretty fantastic for the forty bucks you spend. There's a little "Made in China" sticker at the bottom I just noticed but, hey, what else is new. The box looks better in person than in the pictures and is made of a bright, silver aluminum exterior with some very minor scratches. The kind at are only visible if you take the effort to tilt it in the light to see them. There is a single briefcase style lock with a key, I haven't tried the keys yet, but I'm not to worried about someone making a serious attempt to bust it open for some Unlisted cheapie watches.

The inside of the case features plush velvet covered pillows and side walls. The walls, as some others have said, are cardboard but this is not true. They feel like some sort of plastic and they're in there pretty good. There is a nice thick layer of eggshell foam in the top of the case. The case closes with no issues. All in all the interior of the case is just as sturdy and nice as the exterior. Some reviewers have said the compartments are too small but, I'm sorry, they clearly can't use a tape measure because one of my Unlisted watches is over 2" from the casing edge to the pull button to change the time (on an analog watch) and multiple watches of this size fit comfortably.

Okay so here is that flaw I mentioned. It's not really on behalf of the case but it might be an issue for some like it is for me. I have abnormally small wrists, even with all the weight lifting I have been doing my forearms seem to stay the same. So steel band watches that only collapse to one size won't fit over the pillows. I have two of these so two of the pillows effectively become useless. Being an engineering student though I am sure I will figure something out or make a custom pillow. Just be warned if you have small wrists the pillows may be too big.

EDIT: Okay two flaws. The lock is awful. Again, for $40 I won't complain. I'm not too worried about the contents anyway, it's not so much the lock really but the key. The key's are made of some cheap metal, must be pewter or low grade aluminum or soft steel because it will bend when trying to lock the case. To prevent this, when you push the key in, keep pushing as you turn. But I recommend just leaving it unlocked, if you have high end watches like Seikos or the like, buy a better box than this.
