OnePlus Watch 3 units were mistakenly marked "Meda in China." OnePlus offered owners of the misprinted watches the option to keep them as a "limited edition" or return them for a replacement.
Tech companies are all about precision — except when they aren’t. They wind up making a really humiliating typo as a result. OnePlus is presently experiencing a bit of a "oops" moment after releasing its most recent OnePlus Watch 3 units, which are proudly marked with "Meda in China" rather than "Made in China." You heard correctly: "Meda."
The corporation boldly called out, "Oops, we've meda mistake!" and admitted to the error with a mix of humor and humility. OnePlus is giving customers who received a "Meda" version of the Watch 3 two choices: accept its uniqueness or easily return it. In a post on X, the corporation stated, "Keep it as a super limited edition (it's one-of-a-kind, after all!)."

I can't deal with this BS, between wrong specs on their official websites, bad PR, communications, long term strategies, don't let me go their head of community... they can't even check their own spelling correctly...
