Valjoux 7750, Sellita & ETA movements: Are these watch movements still relevant? Worth it?

Today I'm talking about whether ETA & Sellita movements, among the most common off the shelf movements in watches, are actually worth it in a market where most major luxury watch manufacturers have now transitioned to offering in house movements.

The reality, much like the case with in house movements, is that it largely depends on how much you spend, but there are still several factors to consider in terms of whether something like a Valjoux 7750/Sellita SW500, ETA 2824/Sellita SW200, or an ETA 2892/Sellita SW300 is something you'd want powering your watch.

What do you think of these off the shelf movements? Would having a Sellita, ETA or Valjoux 7750 movement put you off buying a watch? Would it maybe attract you more due to the lower maintenance costs? At what point would you say the cutoff is for a watch needing an in-house movement? Let me know what you think in the comments section.
