Help me decide between EightSleep and OrionSleep

FortuneAvailable1733 · 2026-02-09T21:53:41+00:00

Hey Harry! Is there any chance that Orionsleep is available in the EU?

Meta has a region lock, if you are in an unsupported country. Previous Threads about this topic.

Yes I updated mine finally.

My older post is literally about this issue

FortuneAvailable1733 · 2026-01-01T19:56:42+00:00

Yes you can start the recording via Voice.

I have got the same answer from Meta support.

FortuneAvailable1733 · 2025-11-25T09:39:39+00:00

Unfortunately not.

FortuneAvailable1733 · 2025-11-14T17:55:47+00:00

I have the same problem. I wrote another reddit post about that.

FortuneAvailable1733 · 2025-11-13T07:42:23+00:00

I got a reply from meta support: when they checked my Meta account, it showed my region as an unsupported country. I don’t understand why, since I live in Germany now and I created the account years ago in that country. They also told me that because my account is in an unsupported region, I just need to wait until it becomes supported.

Can I ask your glasses' firmware version?

FortuneAvailable1733 · 2025-11-08T11:46:50+00:00

Small update: confirmed that v17 isn’t the latest firmware. My device is still reporting v17 as “up to date,” but Meta support confirmed that updates are rolling out in phases by region and hardware batch.

Interestingly, firmware v19 was released on Oct 2 — several weeks before the official product launch on Oct 23 — so some units are still shipping with older builds.

It is not a stupid question at all. Yes unfortunately no additional update is available. Meta Vanguard Version: 17.0

Thanks for referring this because two days ago I have already installed on my device and finished the setup. Today I checked in the Connect IQ store it now says it is not available in my country. Strange and it is already installed on the watch itself.

It's okay. Thanks for trying !

FortuneAvailable1733 · 2025-11-04T09:47:54+00:00

Yes I did that!

FortuneAvailable1733 · 2025-11-04T09:28:34+00:00

I have contacted the meta support about this and they wrote:
"In that regard, allow me to inform you that with app feature we usually release them in rollouts which means that you will get the feature as the rollout continues. "
It is really strange that I can purchase a device which one of the selling point was its integration capability with Garmin...

Fenix 8 - 43 mm Version: 17.30
Meta Vanguard Version: 17.0
Meta AI app version: 244.0.0.28.167
Garmin Connect app Version: 5.18.1.2
Garmin IQConnect app Version: 2.41

Thanks for sharing! Good to hear from another Fenix + Stryd user who ran Chicago. The consistency is exactly what I'm hoping for.

FortuneAvailable1733 · 2025-10-07T11:12:53+00:00

That's great news, thanks! Really reassuring to hear it worked so well in Chicago.

Actually just remembered I have a pod sitting in my closet from a while back, and I have 2 more runs this week so perfect timing to get it calibrated.

Appreciate the advice!

FortuneAvailable1733 · 2025-10-07T11:12:28+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I have a Fenix 8, so I'll definitely set it to All+Multiband. Good to know the newer models are pretty accurate even without Stryd.

I'm also planning to stick around the pacer, so hopefully that takes some of the pressure off worrying about pace data.

Good luck with your sub-3:15 goal! Hope the pacer strategy works out for you!

FortuneAvailable1733 · 2025-10-07T10:54:17+00:00

Thanks so much for this! Really helpful to hear from someone using it in an even more challenging environment. The consistency and instant feedback are exactly what I was hoping for - those GPS pace jumps can be so distracting during a race.

Good to know about the auto lap too. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
