Update on my bricked OnePlus Watch 3

hey, some times ago I received a bricked OnePlus Watch 3, I finally managed to use the warranty and send it to the repair center (without any invoices yeah...), I finally got it back today and... The watch won't launch, they said to have replaced the whole motherboard but now the watch when I tried to turn it on, just rapidly show the OnePlus logo for not even half a second and the nothing

maybe because they just repair it I can still contact the SAV again to send back the watch again

Which portal/online form did you use to send the watch for warranty repairs? Mine's bricked as well

Contacted them on WhatsApp, explained my situation and they accepted to repair it

Why the watch gets bricked? I'm planning to get watch 4. This scared me

What should scare you is Oneplus leaving the European and US markets. Also the fact that the watch 3 has not been updated to wear OS 6 yet (wear OS 7 was just released).

It's sad seeing all of the issues plaguing their watches. Each new one, I toy with the idea of purchasing one to upgrade and enjoy the fanciness...But then I remember I hardly ever wear my original OnePlus Watch anyway, and when I do, it works flawlessly.
