OnePlus Admits Typo in Watch 3, Offers Free Returns for Affected Customers

OnePlus recently launched the Watch 3, its latest flagship smartwatch, but a typographical error on its backplate has caused a stir. The text “Meda in China” was mistakenly printed instead of the correct “Made in China,” an error that the company has since acknowledged. In response, OnePlus has offered customers the option to return their affected smartwatches for free, ensuring that those who prefer a unit without the typo can easily exchange it.

Addressing the Typo

OnePlus USA took to X (formerly Twitter) to acknowledge the mistake, calling it “totally unintentional” and explaining that the typo “slipped through” during production. The company assured customers that those who purchased or pre-ordered the units with the error could return them without any cost. For customers who choose to keep the smartwatch with the typo, OnePlus has humorously referred to it as a “super limited edition,” making it a unique, one-of-a-kind piece.

Updates and Future Stock

To resolve the issue, OnePlus has started shipping refreshed units of the Watch 3, which feature the corrected text on the backplate. As the company works to replenish its stock, it is ensuring that future customers will receive a properly labeled smartwatch. This move is meant to restore customer confidence and maintain the integrity of the product line.

Pricing and Discounts

The OnePlus Watch 3 is priced at $329 (roughly Rs. 29,000) in the US. To entice buyers, the company is offering a $30 (roughly Rs. 2,600) coupon discount. Additionally, customers can enjoy an extra $50 (roughly Rs. 4,300) off when trading in their old smartwatch. Currently available for pre-order, the smartwatch will begin shipping on February 25. Despite the typo, OnePlus remains confident that the Watch 3 will attract interest with its features and design.
