Payment by NFC in watches
-
We (wife and myself) are currently using Garmin and Fitbit watches, and we are really open to an alternative especially since Fitbit is now fully owned by Google. I like the Health Mate app and the workings of the Scale. Furthermore I like the look of the Hybrid Withings watches allot, as well as the battery life.
But we do use the NFC Payment option on our watches daily, its really a comfort feature that makes sense. So that is what is keeping me from buying the Withings ScanWatch. I understand there is a difficulty since you need te implement an input option for a passcode or some to activate the payment option, and all of it might impact the battery life. But still - if this feature was built in already I would be wearing a Withings watch already.

Your products give us only essential features without unnecessary things. But NFC payments (better working with Google pay and Apple pay) could be the icing on the cake! Do it soon, otherwise we will be forced to choose other competitors, losing the possibility of using an aesthetically beautiful and functional product!

I already gave up. After 2,5 years of using a withings watch and I must admit I was really happy about the built-in quality as well as the long battery life, but I wanted to upgrade to a new Smart watch with NFC payment support. I couldn't wait longer for Withings to offer this essential feature in their Smart watches. Shame on you Withings for not listening your loyal customers. I bought a fitness tracker for 50€ with NFC contactless payments!
