NFC is kind of old too. In some countries, like China, it's already been replaced by phone payments.

- aembleton 4y agoNFC means I can pay with my watch. I think in China they rely upon phone cameras and QR codes. Great if you've got your phone with you, but I can go out for a run with just my watch and pay using NFC.
- fennecfoxy 4y agoYeah this is what I do, taking my watch out for a run and being able to track my run, etc. Then being able to stop at a shop on the way back for a cold drink or to pick up some groceries and just pay with the watch is so convenient. Sucks that everything else about smart watches sucks tho. Thanks to Apple making the "pretty" Apple watch, other brands have forgone things like eink/mip displays that get better battery life. :/
- ginko 4y agoNFC seems strictly better than QR code payments to me.
