CAN I PAY WITH THE GARD PRO?Updated 6 months ago
Why Paying with the Health 2+ smartwatch is not possible:
The Health 2+ smartwatch offers a wide range of features, but supporting contactless payments is unfortunately not one of them. This is because the Health 2+ does not include an NFC chip, an essential component required for making payments via a smartwatch.
What is an NFC chip?
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology that allows devices to communicate wirelessly over short distances. For payment transactions, this technology is used to make payments quickly and securely, as you may already be used to from smartphones or smartwatches that do have NFC.
Why no NFC in the Health 2+?
The Health 2+ was designed primarily with a focus on health and fitness. The device offers comprehensive health monitoring, such as heart rate measurement, sleep tracking and step counting. To optimize cost and battery performance, it was decided not to include an NFC chip. This means that while the Health 2+ is an excellent companion for your fitness goals, it cannot make payments.
