One thing that writers and multinational consumer electronics companies are that we both need a good editor. Or, at least failing, at least a good spell checker. OnePlus somehow missed this step when it launched the OnePlus Watch 3, which was scheduled to stop abruptly on Tuesday due to an embarrassing typo. On the back of the watch, early buyers found their $330 smartwatch as “Meda from China.” As a result, you now have to wait until April to purchase the device.
At least the people on the OnePlus social team saw the opportunity. “Oh no, we have Meda errors!” Posted Friday on X. “A typo slides by and enters your shiny new OnePlus watch 3.” Confirmation is three days later postal Photo evidence showing flub gained traction in OnePlus subreddit. “yikes lol, how did this pass QC?” U/KBTech Want to know In the comments.
The new release date for the OnePlus Watch 3 is sometime in April, and the current ordering page is estimated to be a ship date on April 9. On the plus side, the company is extending its $30 booking discount. (For Canadian shoppers, that’s $50.) You can use the code Time1010 To get a lower price, this price lasts until April.
Those who have already obtained one of the Chinese “MEDA” models can keep it or ask no questions. (It’s not that the answer is difficult to guess.)
OnePlus says the Watch 3 can run for 16 days in power-saving mode, with a smart mode of 5 days, and for heavy-duty users, it can run for up to 72 hours. The Wear OS watch also has a new titanium bezel and a sapphire crystal screen. All in all, this sounds like a good piece of wood.
