calibre 4401 winding question

[noobs]

When the watch is fully unwound, the winding process alone doesn't immediately cause the balance wheel to start beating. Instead, it requires a few wrist motions to initiate the movement. Is this behavior normal?

Sometimes need to jiggle mine a bit. I think its normal, have had other watches that are similar.

very normal. if the watch stopped operating for a long time, it could take 5 or even 10 full windings for it to run again. the QP would take even more winding. You're good

On a side note...with the chronograph function off and the watch at rest, it completely stops working after just a few minuets. Example: Watch off wrist and chrono function off at 8:00pm. At 6:00am next day watch shows time at 8:05, date wheel does not move either of course. I have a 26420SO bought 02/2022
