Is ETA 2836-2 a good movement?
Xross Trainer
Thanks!

original question can be answered more accurately.
,
Your question I think is akin to asking "are sports cars or 4wds better
cars?"
there is no "better", there is usually different, and depending on the
purpose of the movement you refer to, chrono, tourbillon, auto, etc there
may be a better or worse model output.
ps. do eta even make a tourbillon?

compared to other ETA movements like 2892 & 2824? What are differences
between them?
Thanks.

What kind of sports car (or 4wd) is that?

Yes. It's a good movement. Not all ETAs are good and one whose calibre I
forget, is dreadful.
This is not it
I trust that was a bit of help.

The 2801 is the same movement without automatic winding or calendar and the
'04 is manual winding with date only calendar. Sometimes, perhaps because
they get a better deal, some manufacturers (Sandoz) puts the '36 in date
only watches with the day of week just hidden behind the dial.
The 2892 series is more expensive than the 2824 family and is generally used
in "better" watches. In reality, if they are comparably equipped (same grade
of balance wheel, hairspring, mainspring, etc.) they perform around the
same - either is capable of being certified as a chronometer if outfitted
with the correct "assortment". But "comparably equipped" is a big if - '92s
usually have high grade components but '24/'36s can be ordered any way the
watch manufacturer wants, and sometimes they want cheap ("economique"). And
there can also be differences in finish so one 2824 is not necessarily the
same as another - this is like cars where the same basic engine block might
be found in a Chevrolet, a Rolls Royce and a NASCAR racer, but each very
different from the other.
Here is an article than should answer some of your questions:

execution of the same basic movement. ETA has manufactured this type
of movement for over forty years and its proven performance is why it
is still found in all low priced and some medium priced Swiss
automatic watches. The ETA 2892 movement is an entirely different
design and is found in many higher priced Swiss automatic watches.
