I can determine it is fully wound by the difference in resistance when turning the crown. Wind your watch slowly as it comes to a full wind. You’ll notice when the mainspring starts to slide along the barrel wall. It is subtle, but once you get the feel of it, you’ll know.
You can not overwind it. By design, the mainspring will slide along the inner wall of the barrel.
Whenever I wear an automatic watch that has stopped from not wearing it or sitting a day or two, I fully wind it. The movement functions optimally with a fully loaded mainspring.
