Still not sure what could be possible use case around Europe.
Using it for payment is a bit too unsecure.

I agree with you about the payment insecurity. In fact my wallet, Koruma brand, is protected against RFID/NFC leaks. So imagine my concerns about wearing an unprotected band...

maybe they should make actual button on band, for payments?
that u press actual button on band, before you pay.
for now, they can make it, just like for heart measure, press before you pay.
but its just software thing.

than it would be actualy more safe than nfc bank cards.
in both ways.
