Never heard of Reign watches also, sounds again like a fashion brand like Heritor.
If I look at their website I see the same stuff as heritor. Lots of skeletonized no name chinesium movements and when it's a Seiko NH3x or Miyota movement it's seperately advertised, just like on the Heritor site.
I just think it's funny you base your opinion on inexpensive automatics on a no name china movement and not on tried&tested seiko or miyota automatic movements that can even be found in watches well under $100

TBH I wouldn't spend any more than ~$300 or so on a fashion brand watch if it has a seiko or miyota movement. A bit more maybe if it has a sellita eta clone. And leave no name chinese movements in the store alltogheter, unless you're exactly sure which movement you're getting (but then it wouldn't be a no name movement...) and are familiar with it's technical implementations.
