OnePlus has today announced that its OnePlus Watch 3 launch has been 
postponed by two months because of a typo on the back. 

The new watch, which promises the best battery life of any Android watch on 
the market, has an embarrassing mistake on the back which reads 'Meda in 
China'. 

The company recently acknowledged the issue and joked customers who have 
received one could keep it as a super limited edition or return it for a 
refund. 

Now, the company is delaying the launch by two months, but thankfully there's 
a silver lining. 

"Global technology brand OnePlus today announced that the open sales date for 
the highly anticipated OnePlus Watch 3, initially set for February 25, 2025, 
has been postponed until April 2025," the company told TechRadar . OnePlus 
confirms this is due to "a minor typographical error identified below the 
watch face, which the company is addressing with a new batch." 

The company reiterated that customers who received one with the typo can 
return it if they wished, and there's a good reason why you might want to. 

OnePlus says anyone who pre-orders a new batch from February 25 onwards will 
save 50 in the UK and get a free pair of OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro worth 79 
until stocks last. 

In other territories, there are similar incentives. US customers can save $30 
at checkout and 50% on the OnePlus Buds 3. OnePlus Watch 3 delay (Image

The two-month delay will no doubt come as a disappointment to fans waiting to 
order what might be the best Android smartwatch of 2025. However, as we've 
noted in our OnePlus Watch 3 review , an excellent design and 
industry-leading battery life mean it should be worth the wait. 

The incentives are a nice bonus, so it's definitely worth checking out 
OnePlus' website where you are to see how much you can save. Pre-orders will 
continue from February 25, and the company will provide a specific date for 
open sales in due course. 

The company this week also confirmed plans to launch a smaller size and 
support for LTE (cellular connectivity) outside of China later this year. You
