Intended use
Sold under the ANKI brand by Digital Dream Labs; this is Vector 2.0, not the discontinued original Vector.
Movement

Regional availability
Active maker store says in stock and shipping within one business day.
Release details
Digital Dream Labs announced international Vector 2.0 shipping in October 2022; earlier regional delivery dates are unresolved, so year precision is retained.
