Overview
- Meta says nearly every stocked U.S. location sold out within 48 hours of launch, with demo appointments largely booked through November.
- CTO Andrew Bosworth reports the rollout is off to a strong start, with restocks coming soon and plans to double the number of retail locations.
- Customers can join waitlists or place backorders as Meta works to expand demo capacity to handle demand.
- Purchases require an in-store fitting and walkthrough so staff can size the Neural Band, verify wrist signal detection, and confirm display comfort.
- The smart glasses cost $799 in the U.S., pair a right-lens color display and native apps with gesture control via the sEMG Neural Band, and are slated to reach France, the UK, Italy and Canada starting in early 2026.
