swiss luxury watchmaker brands image
Q. Are these brands worth the money or just overrated japan movement?
Answer
All four are cheap watches with cheap movements inside. They all stick a ridiculous price tag on to give the illusion of quality, then sell them at 75% off to make you feel like you are getting a luxury item at a bargain price. You never see them sold at full price. AS movements are made in China. Invicta is a Florida company these days. Akribos are just another brand under the Stuhrling Original collection; they and SL may have a swiss movements, but its still a mass-manufactured cheap watch pretendning to be more.

Does "JAPAN MOVT" in a watch indicates some type of counterfeiting?
Q.
Answer
The Swiss are the proverbial masters of watchmaking.(And Nazi money/gold laundering.)
Swiss Movements usually have the longest histories/heritages.
Japanese movements, at least to me, Do represent very good bang for the buck. They are usually well built/reliable (like Seiko for example), however not at all on the same level as their Chronometer certified Swiss brethren. its also branding Swiss Movements allow a premium price.
But to earn a coveted COSC certified certification, a movement must not only be made from the highest quality components, but also be the object of special care on part of the finest watchmakers and timers during assembly, and only 3%ish of all Swiss Movements are so certified, and exactly 0% of Japan Movement watches.
Think of it as,
Japanese Movement= Affordable and usually more robust *ie: Seiko*
Swiss Movement= higher end and some luxury watches
COSC certified= luxury+ chronometers
