I can wind all of my new ones too as they all have winding options. Everyone has their own habits--whatever works for you go with. Personally--I wouldn't shake it though-that is just my take. Some people want to set their time in a hurry--I don't mind wearing it for 5 minutes before I set time--it has always worked for me just fine. When I wear them for a few days at a time-which I do in most cases--they keep running without a problem. Again--whatever works for you--go with and I will stick with what works for me.
