Tech companies are all about precision — except when they aren’t. So much so that they end up making a rather embarrassing typo. OnePlus is currently having a bit of an "oops" moment after shipping its latest OnePlus Watch 3 units proudly stamped with "Meda in China" instead of "Made in China." Yes, you heard that right: "Meda."

"Oops, we’ve meda mistake!" the company cheekily declared, owning up to the gaffe with a blend of humility and humour. For those who ended up with a "Meda" edition of the OnePlus Watch 3, OnePlus is offering two options: embrace the rarity or return it without fuss. "Keep it as a super limited edition (it’s one-of-a-kind, after all!)”, the company said in a post on X.

Alternatively, users can return the Watch 3 with no questions asked. “Either way, thanks for your understanding while we get everything back in check,” said OnePlus.

Furthermore, OnePlus has urged eager customers to stay tuned for updates on restocked inventory via its official website.
