Nothing wrong with feeling like Bond. It just means you have a classy "man of action" time piece.
To hack the movement, you just unscrew the crown, pull the crown out to the last position, the seconds hand should stop moving, and this gives you a way to set the time exactly to the second to an atomic clock like
www.time.is. I usually just wait until the 0 second mark, pull the crown out so the seconds hand stops at the 12 o'clock position, set the hour and minute, and wait until the atomic clock reaches the 0 second mark, then I press the crown back in to start the watch. People do this just to check out accurate their watch is.
For example, a COSC certified chronometer will usually have a -4/+6 seconds per day accuracy, which is extremely good. Rolex will have a -2/+2 seconds per day accuracy. Most affordable watches won't be anywhere close to this accurate, so you'll eventually see your time deviates by a minute or more after wearing the watch a few weeks or months. But it's fun to see how accurate a watch's movement is anyways.
I personally love Orient because I know they essentially make their own movement and cases while most other watch brands will source movements from other companies and assemble them. Orient is different, which I appreciate, especially for their price point.
To handwind your watch, you just unscrew the crown and in its first setting (neutral position, not pulled out), you just rotate the crown (I think clockwise?) and you'll wind your watch so the seconds hand starts moving, so you know the watch can now work. Each watch has a barrel that will determine how long a watch has power for, something like 35-42 hours. I believe the Ray Raven II has 40 hours? Whatever the case is, as you wear the watch and because it is an automatic watch, your hand movements will wind the barrel for you and the watch won't need to handwinding. However, if you don't wear the watch for an extended period of time, you can just pick up your watch and unscrew the crown, wind the watch and the seconds hand will move to let you know it's working again. You can handwind the watch to its full 40 hour power reserve, or you can just wind it a little to let it start working, wear it, and your daily movements will wind the watch for you automatically.
Yes, you can wear this watch to the beach, swimming pool, shower, or wherever and it'll be fine. Just make sure to screw the crown back in after setting the time and date, otherwise water may get into the case. The only thing you may need to worry about is wearing it close to things that can magnetize your watch such as microwaves, laptops, etc. You'll eventually see the watch become slightly inaccurate at a faster rate. However, you can just buy a demagnetizer for $10 and demagnetize the watch yourself if this happens.
