After I posted the new Gridfinity Watch Holder (with space for desiccant), I realized that I have quite a few gridfinity watch related designs. I thought it would be good to just put together a post with everything and a little explanation of each design, and then maybe update it again when I add more related stuff.
The watch cases and holders have been an evolution, which I will also try and show here. I could probably take down some of the older designs, however each may have advantages for different folks, so I left them up.
In chronological order (at least as well as I can recall it), starting with the cases, and then followed by the watch holders:

In chronological order (at least as well as I can recall it), starting with the cases, and then followed by the watch holders:
1. Gridfinity 1x2 Watch Case Version 2.1 (12U)
As is indicated by the version, this was not the first design for a 1x2 watch case. This design started with something similar, but was updated with small fixes and improvements. With the TPU liner installed, this watch case is approximately 46.5mm in width, where the crown of a watch would typically sit. Unlike the case #3 (below), this one only has a TPU liner in the lid, not in the base.

2. Gridfinity 3x2 Watch Case (12U)
This is a three watch case, and currently the largest version that has been released. The width of each watch slot is 45.9mm for the center, and 46.8mm for the outside slots, at the approximate location where the crown would sit (if the watch is placed in the case facing front). There is a bit more room if the watch is faced backwards.

3. Gridfinity 1x2 Wide Watch Case Version 3.0
It is a wider version of the earlier 1x2 v2.1 watch case, to hold larger watches. This updated version also has a modular latch option, and a full TPU liner (top and base). The inside width of the case is approximately 52.7mm.

Next up are the watch holders, which are designed to work with the cases:
1. Gridfinity Watch Stand (remix)
This was the original remix of Luocheng Huang's Gridfinity Watch Stand, which I modified to fit my Gridfinity Watch cases.
2. Gridfinity Watch Stand (2nd remix)
I don't recall what the difference was between the 2nd and 1st remixes, but I think it had to do with fitting larger watches in the cases. Ther are very similar otherwise.

3. Gridfinity Watch Stand v3.0 for Larger Watches
This is the 3rd remix, and was the first to use a TPU cover, which really helped to better hold watches with fixed length bracelets.

4. Gridfinity Watch Stand - Watches with Large Bands
This 4th remix was designed for larger watches, especially ones with thick bracelets. It has the watch moved slightly forward, so watches with thick bands will fit the cases more easily. It is otherwise very similar to the 3rd remix.

5. Gridfinity Watch Stand with Desiccant Holder
The current version (5th remix), which includes three sizes of TPU covers (for small, medium and large watches), as well as a new compartment for holding desiccant, located in the center of the holder. Each type of holder also now has a "tab" version, with a couple bumps which help support heavy watches (these can be seen in the 2nd and 3rd pics below). This version should work for most folks, except those who have watches with very chunky bands (which #4 was designed for). I plan to update that design (#4 for extra large watches with chunky bands) soon. to also include the desiccant holder feature.

6. Gridfinty Watch Stand with Desiccant Holder for Extra Large Watches
The only size watch holder that was not updated in design #5 (with a desiccant holder), was the version shown in #4. This design will update #4 to the latest model. The last pic shows this new holder in case #3. The watch by the way is an ADDIESDIVE Men's Diver's Watch (claimed to be 1000m), with a Seiko NH35 movement. I picked mine up a while ago on AliExpress, but it looks like Amazon has them for $7 bucks more (currently $150). It's a good chunk of a watch, but also quite nice, with decent lume and a sapphire crystal.
