For how long will Microsoft Band / Health be supported?

I guess no one knows, but what do you think?

Since Microsoft canceled the Band 3 and removed the Band SDK the future doesn't look too bright. The Health dashboard / Band app outage didn't seem to get any priority from MS and some day the services will be permanently shutdown, the question is only when?

I'm happy with the Band 2 features and the Android app. The swimming support in Band 3 would have been awesome.

But since my third Band 2 now is starting to crack and the warranty is over, and the app hasn't been able to sync with the server for five days, I guess it's time to look elsewhere.

It feels like the Xbox One Fitness all over again. A great "game" / workout app with amazing Kinect support (heart rate, muscle power, balance etc.) and features you couldn't find elsewhere. It had so much much potential but only survived a couple of years before it was completely shut down.
