"Swirl" or wind the A7750

[akoito]

From a complete stop, if I try to swirl the watch, it will take at least 10 - 15 minutes (of "swirling") before the watch starts to tick. However, if I try to wind it, it takes only a few rounds (5 - 10 rounds) for it to start ticking.

Has anyone experienced this ? i wonder what is causing it?

Auto wind -> takes more spin as compared to turning the crown (manually wound). It's normal.

Pare, musta? You have to manually wind it for the first time! about 30 to 40 is best....that way you have some good reserve! Enjoy da watch, whatever it is!
