OnePlus has experienced an interesting misfortune. Sales of the highly anticipated OnePlus Watch 3 smartwatch model have been halted and it has been announced that it has been postponed to April 2025. The watch was originally planned to go on sale on February 25 (today), but it was noticed that the phrase “Meda in China” was mistakenly written on its case instead of “Made in China”.
The release of the OnePlus Watch 3 model has been postponed: A manufacturing error has put the company in a difficult position!
In fact, the incident occurred as follows: After the first users of the product noticed the typo, they started sharing it on social media. The OnePlus team also admitted the situation. They even made humorous posts on the company’s official social media accounts. The company also announced that it will offer free replacements to users who purchase watches with this typo.

Interestingly, OnePlus stated that the Watch 3 models with this incorrect printing may have a collectible value, and announced that those who want to can continue to use their smartwatches without changing them. The company announced that it has restarted the production process to fix the error and therefore postponed the sale date.
But in any case, pre-orders will continue to be accepted starting February 25. Users who pre-order will receive the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro headphones worth 79 euros, and the total price has been set at 299 euros. Meanwhile, initial reviews show that the OnePlus Watch 3 has received positive feedback in terms of its long battery life, power management with a dual processor system and overall performance.
