Auch a beauty, but the crown is incredibly stiff to wind. Can anyone relate? Are there any hacks, I should be aware of?

Hand-wind movements have in most cases mechanisms to avoid overwinding. Some have a hard stop, some, like the ST models, become extremely stiff to wind when the mainspring is fully wound to prevent overwinding. I would say you’ve reached that security feature and you should just let the watch to run and unwind itself for a couple of days. It should be possible to wind it up easily after that.
I had the Watermelon in my hand once, I loved it so much, but I had the same experience about winding, so I am also curious about this topic.

I'm surprised since the winding here is really stiff just right off the beginning. If I compare to my Hanhard or Nomos watch, the winding is so easy compared to the studio underd0g

I can compare it to my Tudor, Seiko, and some microbrands like Traska (Miyota), Wicked (STP), Sphaera (Landeron) just for examples, but all of them are easy to wind. Except the GS Spring Drive it has a really unique feeling when you wind it, and it's smooth, just a bit hard.
I think it’s the seagull movement they are using. I have self wind suggess watch that supposedly uses the same kind of movement and I also find it especially stiff.
