NFC soon

They must also negotiate with banks or other financial organisations.

I had garmin pay on my previous watch, but my bank didn’t support it. I think there is only 1 bank in my country that supports it. I did open a bankaccount that said to support garmin pay, but after a few months it stopped working. I contacted the support department of that bank and they pointed me to a page on their website with supported devices. The page wasn’t updated in ages and only showed ancient garmin models. Apparently that bank couldn’t bother. So closed the account again. Must say, in the time it did work I only used it once to see if it works. Most of the time I have my phone near by.

When I had the Suunto 7, I found it perfect for my weekend morning runs, to stop at the bakery and get some rolls for breakfast. Pay those with my sport watch and no need to carry a phone or anything else.

@Frederick-Rochette you might be looking at mockup features and screens. There are tons like dive planning etc

How did you manage to get this screen ?

Vertical 2 has an NFC antenna listed in its specifications. There’s a Reddit post about it from a year ago.

Looks like iOS app

Martin Vrska

@Squirrel Ah, so that must be the reason.

I use iOS beta app and don’t have it…but probably because I don’t have neither SR2, SV2 or SRs3 (this one should arrive soon at my wrist)

I noticed that but my guess it’s “stock” image, because there’s no watch added to app itself yet + it would be leak There’s no watchface also. When Race 3 gonna be released this image going to be replaced in my opinion.

Oh, it would be brilliant if Suunto were to add an NFC payment feature. In the meantime, I need the Polar payment strap (payment funtion by Fidesmo).
It’s a really simple way to add a payment function to your Suunto watch. You can check on the Fidesmo website beforehand to see if your bank is supported.
