Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped working
The battery may be depleted. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Rado service center or a qualified watchmaker.
Inaccurate timekeeping
Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the issue persists, the movement may require servicing or the battery could be weak, affecting performance. Contact an authorized service center.
Scratches on the crystal or bracelet
The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant. However, severe impacts can cause damage. Minor scratches on metal links can sometimes be polished by a professional. Ceramic links are also scratch-resistant but can chip if impacted hard.
Clasp is difficult to open or close
Ensure no debris is obstructing the clasp mechanism. If the issue persists, it may require adjustment or repair by a watchmaker.
