Tariffs Just Made The OnePlus Watch 3 More Expensive

US OnePlus Watch 3 price rises $170

The tariffs imposed by the United States on Chinese goods continue to affect the prices of technology products, resulting in a sharp rise in prices. The OnePlus Watch 3 has delayed its release due to manufacturing defects, and now it has experienced a sharp price increase, becoming the latest case.

The OnePlus Watch 3 was finally officially launched in the United States, but the price is $170 more than the original price. It was originally sold for $329, but now it is priced at $499 in the United States. OnePlus does not explain the reason for the price increase unless fixing a typographical error on the back is a huge expense that requires a 50% increase on the original price.

Compared with other similar products on the market, the OnePlus Watch 3 is already expensive. More importantly, it is made in China. Former U.S. President Trump’s administration has adjusted tariffs many times, but has always imposed heavy taxes on Chinese goods. The "retaliatory tariff" war between the United States and China has led to the United States imposing tariffs equivalent to 125% on Chinese goods. The cost of all goods imported from China has increased by more than half, which will directly affect product prices.

Most tariffs on other countries have been suspended at present, but the Trump administration insists on imposing tariffs on Chinese goods. Since many of the tech products we use are made in China, we will see a sharp rise in prices for various tech products. The OnePlus Watch 3 is a warning, which reflects the large increase in actual price increases caused by tariffs. The solution proposed by the U.S. government is to make products in the U.S., but this will also lead to a direct increase in costs because the cost of making products in the U.S. is higher than in Asian countries.

Related articles As for the OnePlus Watch 3, its release process has been full of twists and turns. Due to a ridiculous typographical error on the back, the company decided to postpone the release for a few weeks and extend the booking window. Now it is available for purchase, but the current price of $499 has greatly reduced the number of people willing to buy. There are other lower-priced, fairly experienced products on the market, such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 series and the Google Pixel Watch 3 series — unless, of course, tariffs also lead to future prices for these smartwatch series, which is increasingly likely to happen. The ultimate damage is consumers who have to pay higher prices for technology products.

The OnePlus Watch 3 is now available on the OnePlus official website. Please note the new price tag.
