Why this movement matters
Power reserve
80 hours means you can take the watch off over a weekend and it will usually still be running Monday morning. That is a genuinely useful reserve for a daily wearer, not just a marketing rounding exercise.
Frequency
28,800 beats/hour / 4 Hz is a common modern automatic rate. Higher frequency can improve stability in some conditions, but service access and long-term ownership matter more than Hz alone.
Serviceability
Excellent. ETA 2824/2836 platform is the most widely serviced automatic base globally. Swatch Group and independent service both affordable. Typical cost £150 to £400.
Movement honesty
