Winding your watch

Random question.
I’ll try explain this best I can.
So, when I turn the crown once before lifting my finger and thumb off to wind again it’s only being turned about half way round.
For example, one wind with the crown set to minutes would take me from 12-6.
So with a watch that says 25 turns for a full wind would you do this 25 or 50 times?
( it’s lockdown and I’m bored )

yes, based on what you described 50 winds will do, you can wind it more if you like it will not hurt the watch, you cannot overwind it...

To fully manually wind it would need 40 plus full 360 degree turns clockwise only.
