2. Amazon does not produce its entire production run for the year at once. If you buy a unit a year from now, most likely that unit will be considerably less than a year old, though no one will tell you exactly when it was made, or more precisely, when the battery was made.
3. If you buy an Oasis 3 today, it also may have be several months since it was manufactured. I am sure the earliest units were being assembled well before the official release date. In any case, you are unlikly to get one straight off the assembly line.

I bought my Voyage in April 2016, a year and a half after the model was released (October 2014). According to the serial number, my device was manufactured in August 2015. So it was about 8 months old when I got it.
