Depends on how you play and how many times you drop it.

Oh to break in that depends my legacy 2s bearing took for forever to break in!
The world may never know.
Depends, I say it’s broken in after about a week of good play, or a good 20-30 min on the dremel, with some lubricant inside.
I you throw the same one a day or two.
when i started yoyoing it took me 2 hours
now it takes about 13 minutes of continuous play
If break in you mean take a fully lubed bearing and play it till it is unresponsive? then a week or two.
If you mean after you have cleaned it, and only added a drop or two of super thin lube, then about an hour or two.
Given a hammer or something else suitable, about 3 seconds.
If you mean breaking in, it usually takes me about an hour or two of play, depending on the bearing.

About half an hour
Not sure if you are asking:
- How long does it take a bearing to “break” due to wear and tear (bearing life span)?
- How long does it take for a bearing to “break” in?
I guess either question would depend on the type of bearing, it’s quality, extent and duration of usage. If you are curious about the “average life span” of a bearing, the first one…good question. I would like to know too. I have not been yo-yoing long enough to find out. :-\

Wait… Like… breaking your bearing means it becomes unresponsive? Is that bad? Does that mean you need to get a new one? Cause I’ve been playing for 5 days now and I haven’t changed anything…
As far as life span of a bearing, I have bearing in yoyos that still work fine from the late 90’s. a couple with super amounts of play time on them.
no like an hour of spinning it also helps the spin it on a pencil.
