Starts when winding, there is no need to shake it. Time setting and winding are both smooth. To get you a clearer picture of how the watch will behave, I do the following home testing: I manually wind the watch, even if the watch has automatic wind, and test it against a watch that I know is correct. For this I purpose I use a web page that provides the exact time. I check the deviation after 12 and 24 hours. For this watch after 12 hours: +24 seconds and after 24 hours: +40 seconds. Actually wearing the watch in the pulse will get you different results for sure. 1 – The watch should not be used in the water!
