FAQs
What does 'automatic movement' mean?
An automatic movement is a type of mechanical watch movement that is powered by the natural motion of the wearer's wrist. A rotor inside the watch winds the mainspring as you move, eliminating the need for manual winding or battery replacement.
How do I set the time and date on this watch?
Pull the crown out to the furthest position to set the time. If your model has a date function, pull the crown to the middle position to adjust the date. Always move the hands forward to set the date and avoid changing it between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the movement.
Is the red dial color prone to fading?
Rado uses high-quality materials, and the deep red dial color is designed for durability. However, prolonged and direct exposure to intense UV light sources could potentially affect any colored material over extended periods.
How accurate is an automatic watch?
The accuracy of an automatic watch can vary. Typically, a well-maintained automatic movement from a reputable brand like Rado can keep time within +/- 10 to 30 seconds per day. Extreme temperatures or magnetic fields can affect accuracy.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
You should refer to the specific water resistance rating for your Rado True Round Secret model. Many Rado watches offer water resistance suitable for everyday splashes or brief immersion, but dedicated diving or swimming requires a much higher rating.
What is the warranty period for this Rado watch?
Warranty periods can vary by region and purchase date. Please consult the warranty card included with your watch or contact an authorized Rado dealer for precise warranty information.
How do I maintain the diamonds on the dial?
The diamonds are securely set. Clean them gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals which could damage the setting or the diamonds themselves.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped or is losing time.
Ensure the watch is sufficiently wound. Wear it for a full day or manually wind the crown. If the issue persists, the watch may require servicing.
Crown is difficult to turn or adjust.
Gently pull the crown out to the correct position before attempting to turn it. If resistance is met, do not force it and consult a professional.
Scratches on the case or crystal.
The ceramic case is highly scratch-resistant, but the crystal (sapphire) can still be scratched by diamonds or other hard materials. Professional polishing or crystal replacement may be needed for significant damage.
Condensation under the crystal.
This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Remove the watch from moisture immediately and have it inspected by a qualified watchmaker.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is an automatic mechanical watch. Upon first use or after a period of inactivity, it needs to be wound. You can do this by gently shaking the watch for a minute or two, or by manually winding the crown (pull it out to the first position and turn clockwise).
Compatibility: As a standalone timepiece, compatibility is not applicable in terms of software or devices. However, ensure the strap is suitable for your wrist size. Adjustments may be needed by a professional jeweller.
Care:
- Winding: To maintain accuracy, wear the watch for at least 8-10 hours a day, or manually wind it daily if not worn.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Water Resistance: While many Rado watches have some level of water resistance, consult your specific model's manual for details. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture, steam, or submersion unless rated for it.
- Servicing: Mechanical watches benefit from professional servicing every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the movement.
