We took the kids to Knotts Berry Farm. One of the cool things to do in Southern California. I picked up a scorpion. Lisa, with her gift of endless childhood, enjoyed one of the younger kid rides with Meg more than any of the other rides.
As mentioned, the U50 is 41mm link across, 11.15mm thick, and 47mm lug link to lug. Lug width is 20mm, and the U50 has drilled lugs (woohoo!), making strap changes nothing short of a breeze. Inside that now smaller case and covered by a solid case back, Sinn has fitted the U50 line with Sellita's SW300-1, a Swiss-made automatic movement with a date function. The SW300 is meant as direct competition for the higher-end expressions of ETA link movements like the 2892-A2.
The 43mm cases for the Grande link Seconde watches never struck me as particularly excessive in size link – especially when paired with some of the company's remarkable enamelwork, the diameter seemed to be a deliberate choice link to have a larger canvas on which to display what was then a quite rarely seen horological decorative art.
Much like its Hidden Glow link siblings, the GA700HD-8A has a white luminescent dial background that glows green at night, as well as the matte grey resin case and matching bracelet. Since it's a G-SHOCK, this model is well-equipped with the brand's signature timekeeping functions including alarms, stopwatches, calendars, and a five-year battery life. Additionally, this link watch can truly take a beating with link its shock-resistant capabilities.
