Sorry it took some time to get back here, Wyze Band is not officially EOL, we are still doing bug fixes but there is currently no active development of new features.

They aren’t keeping the Band as is. I was just told by support that its no longer produced. Although its not officially EOL from a support standpoint, the product is dead which is really disappointing. There are those of us customers that don’t like a larger product on our wrist like a watch, so the Band was a much better choice. I wish Wyze would reconsider.

Could it be they have been hacked like the v1 cameras for 3 years and aren’t going to mention this either.
Wyze Band connects only to your phone via Bluetooth. It has no WiFi or Internet connectivity.

Bug fixes 2 years and counting in the making.
The band is DOA as far as Wyze is concerned.
They got the money they wanted from it and moved on.
RIP BAND.
So you mean to say your location can’t be vulnerable from your phone through the app?
Sure your phone can be hacked.
I can’t get my daughter’s to pair on her phone or mine. I have a 44 that works just fine. But the band pair screen doesn’t work either. If I picka 44 to pair the band it gets all the way to finish pair and gives error. So don’t think it’s watch or app. Just can’t pair band to app anymore.
My suggestion: Full factory default on the band in question prior to re-pairing. If that doesn’t solve, leave it in a drawer for two weeks (to let the battery run down entirely), charge it, and try again.
My Wyze band’s band broke today. I want to buy a replacement but I need black not PINK and that is all you have in stock. I absolutely HATE the fat look of the Wyze watch, so I won’t be getting one of those. When will black bands be back in stock? I need one ASAP.
I don’t know if any will come back in stock through the Wyze website, however, I believe there are some available through Amazon. This one appears to be for the Wyze Band (Blue and Gray bands)

I’m sure there are others.

I love “the Band”, but not the silicone band, I got a severe rash from it
U tried many varieties, same results. Luckily, I had the 47 watch and got a leather band.
It’s been 5 months, the discolored skin is healing.
I still liked the band better.
It’s been so long, I can’t tell the difference in features, anymore.
My Wyze band broke. Not the strap, but the sides of the watch that connect to the silicon straps.
I want to buy a new Wyze Band. I do NOT want the Wyze “watch” which to me looks fat, clunky and awful.
I see none on the Wyze site for sale. I see none on Amazon. Where can I find the one I WANT (please do not suggest the Wyze Watch, I won’t be buying it).
If Wyze no longer sells the slim, sleek looking Wyze Band, can someone tell me what other company I can go to where I can spend my money to get what I want? If anyone knows, please give me suggestions. Thanks!
Wyze bands are not yet End of Life last I heard, but I haven’t seen them sold/manufactured in a while. They may sometimes show up under the refurbished store.
You will likely have to buy a replacement from a reseller or previous owner like on Facebook Marketplace, or eBay.
It doesn’t look like Wyze will be making another batch of Bands or a new model of band since the VP said the lifestyle category of things like bands and watches is already really saturated with other affordable devices, so I’m assuming Wyze feels they can’t really disrupt that industry. Kind of sad since they seem fairly high demand. New ones sell on Amazon 3rd parties for around $90.
You asked for alternatives if you can’t buy a replacement from Wyze. I am partial to Amazfit bands because they have an API that allows people to create 3rd party programs/apps for them. Xiaomi Mi Band is another one that is similar to the Wyze Band. I believe all the Mi Bands are manufactured by Amazfit. There are lots of other generic fitness bands around the quality, cost, and feature set of the Wyze band. If you pay a little more you can get some from companies like Fitbit (Google), and Garmin. Just depends on you.

My Wyze Band’s screen seems to have died, and I’d love to get another (without paying ~$100 on Amazon!)
I thought many Wyze products are Chinese hardware with Wyze-supplied firmware. If that’s the case with the Wyze Band, can someone track down the make/model of the Chinese version, then we can figure out some way to get the Wyze firmware into it…?
Long shot I know, but I really liked having an inexpensive notification/fitness tracking watch on my wrist without having to worry about losing or breaking something that costs umpty-bucks.
