Well it does depend which one you buy and I must say I am no expert - BECAUSE they are no Speedmaster.
The movement is quite different and some of them (I remember seeing a post by
@Archer where he defended some, but not others) are very difficult to service, to the point that Omega swap the movement rather than fix them. Others have commented on the module, or piggy back chronograph that is inelegant. As I say I am no reduced expert, but I have never heard much positive about them.
They are inexpensive, compared to a Speedmaster, but there the comparison ends. The only thing Speedmaster about them is the name. They almost look to me like a Chinese replica factory tried to make a Speedmaster.
If that's what you want, and you know what you are buying, then from Japan is in my experience a good way to acquire a watch. In general the dealers are very honest and efficient, the post is efficient, and the Japanese like to keep their watches well, usually with the box and papers intact.
While I have seen a few Reduced owners sing happy songs, I have seen more get rid of them over the years to replace them with a Cal 861 or even 1861 speedmaster.
