The OnePlus Watch 3 launched last week with some useful health monitoring features and great battery life. However, the OnePlus party was quickly spoiled after reports of a typo in the Watch 3’s backplate engraving went viral. What should have been “Made in China” was misspelled as “Meda in China.” No wonder; it was a bummer. Today, in a press release sent to us, OnePlus has also announced to push the open-sales date of the OnePlus Watch 3 to April.
