"Tap to Pay (NFC)4(Coming soon)"
What? Why would my kid need Tap to Pay? That's just setting the user/Google up for a horror story where the watch wearer goes overboard on spending for some lame game with in-app payments...
Or are they expecting adults to use this as well?
- jakemoshenko 2y agoTap to pay with spend controls sounds ideal for things like after school snacks/activities and transit. It could also be an easy to way to manage things like allowance digitally?
- ryukoposting 2y agoSame reason we have debit cards with parental controls. If I lived in Chicago, I'd put my Ventra card on my kid's smart watch.
- joezydeco 2y agoSome urban transit systems use NFC for fares. Maybe you want your kid to have a bus or subway pass without having to carry a wallet.
- enragedcacti 2y agoIf you read the the "4" footnote included in your copied section... > Requires compatible payment card and internet access. Payment cards for supervised users may require a separate paid membership (not included with Fitbit Ace Pass). Payment card memberships or parents may restrict purchases of certain products or from certain retailers. Supports Tap to Pay only.
