• The OnePlus Watch 3 has finally gone on sale in the US, but at a much higher price than had previously been announced.
• Listed at $499.99, it’s $170 more than expected. OnePlus declined the opportunity to give any reasons for the surprise price tag.
• The watch is made in China, so it’s possible the new 145% US tariffs on Chinese goods are behind the last-minute uplift.

After a delayed launch caused by an unfortunate typo, the OnePlus Watch 3 is now officially on sale in the US. But anyone hoping to pick up the new Wear OS smartwatch might be doing a double take, as it’s currently listed at $499.99. That’s a full $170 more than the expected $329.99 price OnePlus had previously announced.

At first glance, it would be easy to assume this is just another error — especially given that the Watch 3’s original release had to be pushed back from February to April after early units were found to have “Meda in China” engraved on the back. However, the higher OnePlus Watch 3 price persists until checkout and seems oddly specific to be a typo.
