The OnePlus Watch 3 gets a price cut in the US following sticker shock


OnePlus Watch 3 was launched in the US for $500, but now the company has brought it back down to its original $350

While we didn't receive any official word from the company regarding the reasoning behind the unexpected price increase for the wearable, it was assumed that it had something to do with the U.S.-China trade war, specifically President Trump's imposition of a 145% tariff on products imported from China. Without getting into the details of the tariffs situation, Blank said that OnePlus made recent adjustments to its supply chain, which has allowed it to bring back the originally announced prices for the Watch 3 in the U.S. "This change reflects our effort to be transparent, responsive, and committed to bringing the OnePlus Watch 3 to the U.S at a competitive price point, despite the ongoing market conditions."
