Lack of NFC :(
But probably even if it had it it wouldn't work with Google/Apple Pay, for me payments using my watch would be the best application of "smart" together with notifications.

- dfox 6y agoThe card-side implementation of NFC payments is surprisingly resource hungry for parasitic powered NFC chip, but utterly negligible for a device with own battery, 64MHz ARM core and 4MB of storage. On the other hand good luck with getting such a device accepted by anyone in the financial industry. (On the other hand you probably could build something that proxies to your real physical card)
- ryukafalz 6y agoThis is the frustrating thing about integrating with payment systems, it's far out of reach for a FOSS project like this. Cryptocurrencies are better in that regard but few businesses accept cryptocurrencies, GNU Taler would also be better but I think that requires banks to be on board with it which they're also unlikely to do.
- sq_ 6y agoNFC would've been great for "my watch is also my keycard" type stuff. Hopefully some future version will include it!
