OnePlus recently launched the Watch 3, but an amusing error on its backplate has caught the internet’s attention. The backplate reads “Meda in China” instead of “Made in China.” In response, OnePlus’ US branch stated that the typo was “totally unintentional” and humorously offered affected owners the choice to keep their “super limited edition” watch or return it for a refund. The OnePlus Watch 3 is priced at approximately $330 and is available in two colors: Obsidian Titanium and Emerald Titanium. The company addressed the issue on social media, encouraging fans to embrace the mistake.
