FAQs

What is the main advantage of the high-tech ceramic material?

The high-tech ceramic used by Rado is exceptionally lightweight, highly scratch-resistant, and hypoallergenic, offering superior comfort and durability compared to traditional materials.

Is this watch waterproof?

The water resistance rating varies by specific model. Please check the case back or documentation for your Rado True Square. It is generally suitable for splashes and rain, but not for swimming or diving unless explicitly stated.

How often does the automatic movement need servicing?

Automatic watches typically require servicing every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the movement.

Can I polish out scratches from the ceramic case myself?

While ceramic is very hard, deep scratches cannot be removed with DIY methods. For minor imperfections, a specialized ceramic polish might be considered with extreme caution, but professional servicing is recommended for significant damage.

What does 'Open Heart' mean on a watch?

'Open Heart' refers to a design feature where a section of the dial is cut away to reveal the balance wheel and escapement of the mechanical movement operating underneath.

Is the white ceramic prone to staining?

Rado's high-tech ceramic is generally resistant to staining. However, prolonged contact with certain dyes or pigments might cause discoloration. Prompt cleaning with a soft cloth is advised.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise about 30-40 times while it is in the outermost position. Ensure the watch is worn regularly to keep the automatic movement powered.

Minor scratches on the ceramic surface

While highly scratch-resistant, deep scratches may require professional polishing by an authorized Rado service center. For very light scuffs, a specialized ceramic polish might be carefully used, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Watch losing or gaining time significantly

Automatic watches can have a daily variation. If the time deviation is significant (more than +/- 15-20 seconds per day), it may require servicing by an authorized Rado technician.

Strap or bracelet feels loose/tight

For strap adjustments, consult a jeweler or watchmaker. Many bracelets have micro-adjustment clasps for fine-tuning the fit.

Pros and Cons

  • Highly scratch-resistant ceramic material.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.
  • Unique and modern square design.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.
  • Hypoallergenic properties for sensitive skin.

  • Ceramic can be brittle and prone to chipping if dropped.

  • Limited color options (white in this case).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is an automatic watch. It will begin running when placed on a surface after being picked up from a dormant state. For optimal timekeeping, it is recommended to wear the watch for at least 8-10 hours a day, or manually wind the crown (turn it clockwise about 30-40 times while in the 'out' position) if the watch has stopped.

Compatibility: The Rado True Square is designed as a standalone timepiece. Compatibility is generally not an issue as it does not rely on electronic connections. However, ensure the strap or bracelet fits your wrist comfortably.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the ceramic case and bracelet gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
  • Water Resistance: Refer to the specific water resistance rating for your model (typically found on the case back or warranty card). Avoid exposing the watch to water beyond its rating.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the watch in its original box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
