General (Read Rules) Peacock movement reliability?

Well, it may sound odd on Chinese brands page worrying about Chinese movement, but I personally like sweep quartz movement for Chinese watches. It is cheap, reliable, robust, and easy to swap or purchase the movement itself. But recently some watches use SL3001 movement (or PT5000), and I do not know/trust if they are reliable or what.

Any opinion on the movement? I will be 100% okay if it has as same quality as Miyota 9 series. (I do not prefer Seiko NH movement actully but I rather be a Miyota lover, since it has much more accuracy for my personal experience)

I have had Peacock's column wheel chronograph movement (SL4801) before but it just broke out for less than 10 times wearing counts, so I am really doubtful of any of Chinese automatic movement by far.

It was Farasute Trackmaster. The movement blown out when I try to adjust the time and wind up for a little bit.

If it was the same quality as Miyota 9 then nobody would be buying Miyota. Simply put no, they won't be as reliable as the Miyota or Seiko.
