OnePlus Watch 3's 'Meda in China' typo goes viral; Netizens react
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.
FollowTech 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!)."
