At 1200 cycles that's 600 weeks or about 11 years as a rough worst case estimate.

(Kudos to John F for referencing Battery University. Good source of factual information.)
I'm not too worried. I treat my devices well! Still, it is a bit annoying to have to charge so often. Keeping the Aura HD handy for when the ONE is on the charger....

I don't think I could make do with only the Aura ONE because of the shorter battery life.
