The OnePlus Watch 3 launch has been overshadowed by a rather amusing blunder that could turn your smartwatch into a sought-after collector’s item. The initial batch of OnePlus Watch 3 devices featured a comical typo on the backplate, stating “Meda in China” instead of the intended “Made in China.”
Despite the embarrassment, OnePlus responded with good humor, acknowledging the mistake as unintentional. In a lighthearted manner, they even suggested that those who own a “Meda in China” Watch 3 should consider keeping it as a “super limited edition.”
If owning a typo-laden timepiece isn’t your cup of tea, OnePlus is offering free returns. However, if you happen to possess one of these uniquely flawed watches, think twice before returning it—you might be holding onto a piece of tech history.
Priced at £319/ $329.99, the OnePlus Watch 3 comes in stylish finishes like Obsidian Titanium and Emerald Titanium. Beyond the typo, the Watch 3 boasts a range of features worth exploring, as detailed in our comprehensive review.
So, whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a collector of unique items, or simply someone who appreciates a good laugh, the OnePlus Watch 3’s “Meda in China” mishap adds an unexpected twist to the world of smartwatches. Who knew a simple typo could make a wearable device worth a little extra?
