OnePlus has made a significant announcement regarding its latest smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch 3, which is relevant for customers in the United States. Following a substantial price increase of $150 just two weeks ago, the company has now adjusted the price back to its original level. Previously, the smartwatch was relaunched at a steep price of $500, attributed to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration that resulted in cumulative tariffs of about 145 percent on products from China.
In light of recent evaluations of their supply chain, OnePlus has revealed that the OnePlus Watch 3 will now be available again at the original price of $350. This reduction signifies the company’s commitment to offering competitive pricing. According to Spenser Blank, the Head of Marketing & Communications for OnePlus North America, the adjustments reflect their dedication to maintaining transparency and responsiveness in the market.
Furthermore, OnePlus has ensured that customers who purchased the smartwatch at the higher price will receive a refund for the difference, with the refunds processed to their original payment methods. Customers can expect to be contacted by the OnePlus Customer Support team regarding these refunds. The earlier price increase had taken effect on April 10, raising the cost to $499.99, but the latest changes demonstrate the company’s ability to reverse that decision and satisfy its customer base.
Overall, it’s a reassuring development for OnePlus devotees who now have access to the smartwatch at a more favorable and fair price point.
