4 compartments in the photo on their site, the old ones used to be 5 from looking at these threads:

Wonder if it's smaller, or are the compartments bigger.

that looks smaller - Tea bags are the same size so its unlikely to be 4 rows in the same space as there used to be 5.

They've made it smaller by 20% and with no lower price - its like mars bars, they just keep ketting smaller

In 20 years time we will all be reminiscing "remember when Lidl tea boxes used to be 5 rows and now they are two"

They were five originally (I have some). They were downsized last year.

Does anyone have the 4 row ones? Are they still worth having?

I have one of the four row ones, it's well worth £7.

I got a couple on my way home, I think I may give one to my old man, so I may need to get another. Even though I don't have 16 watches let alone 8!

Oh well always room for expansion then!

The quality for £7 is really good! Add £3 worth of pillows and it's a bargain box!

Thanks again op for the heads up!

The five bay ones are almost certainly worth a healthy premium on the second hand market.

Picked two of these up yesterday, they are really good quality for the price. Lovely solid beechwood, not ply with two small brass hinges. It has a plastic window so no danger of marking/rubbing against bezels or domed crystals. All in all a quality buy. Its the best £6.99 you will spend this year.
