True. This is an issue in America specifically. Where there is a Google Apple duopoly on tap-to-pay tech. Can be worked around though with smart watches like Garmin watch with Garmin Pay. In many other regions there are alternatives like Curve Pay or tap-to-pay functionalities in banking apps
- dns_snek 1y agoGoogle Pay also works with a Pixel watch connected to a GrapheneOS phone, FWIW.
- LilBytes 1y agoOh is that right? That's cool. That might be enough to give Graphene another go, especially since Android Car is supported now. Thank you.
- dns_snek 1y agoYeah, technically your phone isn't even involved. The watch manages all the cryptographic keys independently and you can add cards through the Google Wallet app or website.
- subscribed 1y agoAlso Garmin watches if you'd prefer wearing something with battery lasting weeks, not hours ;)
- alex-korr 1y agoThat's what I use. The Garmin O/S UX is a bit ass, but usable and I never need to carry money if I am going on a run.
- subscribed 1y ago"a bit ass" is a charitable way to put it, but same here, it's dependable, dead stable, good enough as a backup map.
- dns_snek 1y agoIt's not that bad, my battery lasts around 36 hours. I take it off when I go to shower and by the time I remember to put it back on (~30min) it's usually back to 90%+.
