Why are all the Seiko watches <700 has a small face?

Probably to cater for the Asian market and their (usually) small wrists.

How come the Tissot looks so much bigger?
But their case diameter according to their websites are around the same?

Case diameter measurements are not standard. Some may measure the diameter of the bezel, some include the crown as well etc.
Also, the thickness of the bezel will alter your perception of size (eg. thinner bezel, larger face, overall watch looks bigger).

Hello, need some advise,

I'm looking for watch that have the luminance that can glow for very long time, like Ball and luminox watch?
Any other brand to recommend? And what does the luminance that can last so long called? Gas filled lume?

BTW, saw Getat in this few pages, does its super lume same as like Ball luminance?

If you up your ante a little bit more, you can check out Orient watches.

In-house movement, Automatic and Made in Japan. Love it to bits.

I had browsing on some online watch online shop and wonder how reliable it is. I check at thewathery, the price looks very good, if not mistaken it does ship to malaysia, the postage is usd 39. Anyone bought any watch from there? or any recommended shop?

Yes. The autos are authentic ETA swiss movement. Watches are made in Jura iirc. Take note that a lot of Victorinox line up is Quartz and only a few are automatics.

Getat isn't using tritium, so U will not Ball like lume.
tritium watches swiss made auto - Ball watch, Christopher Ward certain collection, Frederique Constant certain collection
tritium watches quartz - luminox, Uzi H3, Traser etc
