OnePlus Watch 3 price waste permanently after tariffs

After the OnePlus Watch 3 was late due to a typing error and returned with a massive price increase, it has dropped back to a reasonable price of USD 349.99.

The OnePlus Watch 3 was launched in February with a price of 329.99 US dollars, somewhat after USD 299.99 of its predecessor. This came with some design upgrades and even longer battery life, but all the best aspects of the original device. But a typing error “Meda in China” on the back left OnePlus on the left to revise the inventory and close sales for a few weeks. At the beginning of this month, OnePlus Watch 3 returned, but with a drastic price increase.

When it returned on April 10, the OnePlus Watch 3 from USD 329 to $ 499, an increase of over 50%and a massive new costs for customers rose. At that time, the company did not state an explanation for the price increase, but it was clear that it was due to the current US tariff situation.

Now the price has dropped, and OnePlus has confirmed that “market conditions”, also known as tariffs, were to blame.

The company explains in an explanation that is sent to 9to5google:

On April 10, the price for the OnePlus Watch 3 was increased to $ 499.99 due to the current market conditions. After further evaluation, we are pleased that the recent adjustments in our supply chain have made it possible for us to pass some savings on to those who are interested in buying the OnePlus Watch 3 in the USA. As a result, the OnePlus Watch 3 in the United States is now available at its new price of US dollars. This is the final MSRP price and will not be changed in the future.

It is unclear which “adjustments” of the supply chain have been made to reduce the effects of tariffs, but it is good news for buyers. The price of only 20 US dollars from the original MSRP is a much simpler pill for swallowing, especially since OnePlus is committed to this new price -3 price for 3 o'clock. The company says this is the “final MSRP” and “will not be changed in the future”.

The OnePlus Watch 3 is now available for $ 349.99.
