Microsoft declares end of support of its fitness bracelets Band. The first generation was launched in 2014, the second — a year later, the third generation of Microsoft Band users did not wait.
What does it mean

May 31 this year, Microsoft will remove all user data from the online storage and will close the site Health Dashboard. In addition, Microsoft Store, Google Play and the Apple App Store will disappear all apps associated with your Microsoft Band.

Before this date users will be able to export their data from the repository or to remove them.

After that, the fitness bracelets will work, but their opportunities will be limited. They can record and track health information (the number of steps, heart rate) and activity (running, Cycling, Hiking, etc.), track your sleep and act as a alarm clock.

A reboot of the device after may 31 will make it unusable.
Reimbursed

Microsoft promises to the owners Band and Band 2 compensation. This applies to users who at least once synchronized in the period from 1 December 2018 to 1 March 2019, and owners of devices with a guarantee.

For Band 1 expected $ 80, Band 2 — $ 175. The company will send letters to users who are entitled to compensation, and they will be able to apply for money until 30 August 2019.
