Wyze Band end of life?

My understanding is that it won’t be coming back in stock as there is no intent to manufacture more of them, but it is still “supported” in the sense that it hasn’t been officially labeled EOL yet as far as we’re aware.


Wyze’s VP of Product recently mentioned that Wyze is planning to move away from “fashion accessories” like watches and have fewer “Lifestyle” products in general:

Bands and Watches will be a rare type of item for Wyze in the future. In General, it’s been my observation that Wyze likes to focus on areas they can “disrupt” and here we have the VP saying that the watch and band market is already crowded with affordable options that make it hard for them gain a significant foothold in comparison to the other options out there, so these will no longer be a priority when they can make a bigger difference in other markets that still have overpriced or under-featured options where they can make a bigger impact.

I don’t know that this means Wyze won’t do anything in fashion or lifestyle markets, just that they’ll do smaller investments there. On the bright side, if Wyze doesn’t intend to expand their watch, fashion, or lifestyle lines, it also probably means the current models they have will likely be supported longer since there won’t be replacement models planned. It is probably one of the reasons there has not been an EOL announced for the band. There is no replacement planned, so they may as well just keep it as it is at least, especially as long as there is no security update required.
