Your Microsoft Band may give you one last surprise: the closure of Microsoft He alth reveals the possibility of a refund

Microsoft He alth shuts down. Starting May 31, 2019, Microsoft will end its platform for monitoring and controlling our he alth. Thereafter, the Microsoft He alth Panel site will be closed and the Microsoft Band apps will be removed from the Microsoft Store, App Store, and Google Play.

A situation that is not expected but is less uncomfortable for users of the platform, especially for those who recently got hold of a Microsoft Band and who can now find themselves with a device that will not enjoy much utility regardless of the mobile platform in which we use it.

Microsoft He alth will be history in a few days

And is that as of May 31, if you use a Microsoft Band its functionality will be limited to what the _wearable_ offers, losing the functionalities offered through the cloud and the phone application. From that moment on, the holders of a Bando will be able to carry out these actions:

• Record and track daily he alth information (daily steps, heart rate, and basic workouts)
• Record activity data (runs, bike rides, excursions, etc.)
• Keep track of sleep
• Set alarms

With a Microsoft Band already in Microsoft's drawer of failures, everything looked very bad for buyers of one of these devices.And when they least expected it, they received good news from Microsoft News they didn't count on.

And if you are not satisfied with the options that Microsoft Band will offer after the closure, you can benefit from the refund program that have released at Microsoft. They will not give you all the money but at least they allow you to recover part of the invested capital.

Refunds must be requested by August 30, 2019 and will allow Microsoft to refund us up to $79.99 if we bought a Band 1 or 175 if we bought a Band 2 A benefit that users who meet these conditions can access:

• They have a Microsoft Band under warranty.
• Be active users, that is, have used the Band and have completed a data synchronization from Band to the Status Panel between 12/1/2018 and 3/1/2019.

All users who meet these requirements, will receive an email with the instructions to achieve reimbursement for the aforementioned amounts. A detail from Microsoft for the most loyal users of its extinct platform.
