Help! Which Travel Case

I boiled it down to two:

CASEBUDi Watch Travel Case (Standard) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009EEQ55C..._h5AzBbB6047E4

And

Travel Watch Case | Single Watch Box w/Zipper for Proper Watch Storage | Cushioned Round Watch Case for Travel | Fits all Wristwatches & Smart Watches up to 50mm https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L0VVGBE..._O6AzBb46AA874

The second one seems to have a deeper “donut hole” portion which might prevent excessive rattling. It also comes with two pieces of foam to keep the watch more stable and less prone to moving around.

The first one has more reviews and a lot of TRF members seem to praise it but I can’t tell if it’s because it came out before the second one.

Anyways, any advice? I know it’s only $15 but why waste money needlessly.
I admit, I’ve definitely been stressing a lot more than I needed to about this decision.

Using the casebudi on my travels from London UK to Atlanta to New York as we speak. Works great, I’m sure either will be fine.
It doesn’t rattle and personally wouldn’t be bothered with the foam, probably more hassle adjusting it rather than chucking the watch it the case and heading out.

I have the second one you listed and like it very much. Its solidly built and cushioned nicely. I've used it to snugly hold 39mm to 43mm watches.

I do not have one of these, but I have been thinking about it!

I’ve been using the Otterbox Pursuit 40 for several years and in my opinion these are the most rugged and tough cases you can use. Of course, only one at a time, but it’s great to wear one, and keep a spare near when traveling.
And.. this is the least expensive I’ve ever seen them. Probably going to pick up a few more.

I have this one. I paid roughly half what the link shows. It would surely cost more than the two that you have linked.
Super quality product though.

I have a bunch of Wolf's Blake line products.

You can get the Blake triple for $69 so surely you could find the single cheaper.
