This would be a lot better than an NFC chip on a standard smartwatch as the F91W could last for years with that chip inside it.
The F91W is cheap, and really reliable. I've always fantasized about modding one, and this exactly would be my dream. Sadly, I don't have enough time on my hands.
If it were for sale, I'd buy it immediately !
Wow I'm amazed by the option of adding a chip from a tap to pay card. This would be a lot better than an NFC chip on a standard smartwatch as the F91W could last for years with that chip inside it.

The link is at the bottom of the site, but it's pretty subtle, and I think these watches have the same mods.
Edit: These have NFC, but no SD card, so maybe they will show up with enhanced storage later, but anyone wanting the NFC features with the watch it looks like they are available.
Edit Edit: The NFC chip in the ones for sale is not tap-to-pay :( still neat though!

It says: "Be aware, this particular NFC chip is NOT compatible with tap-to-pay."
the most shameful fact about the F91W isnt its spartan design or its affordable price, but the fact that the timepiece with its ten year battery will easily outlast its resin strap, and its springbars are nothing more than pot steel held into the soft plastic lugs by friction alone. Chances are, when you replace the band after a few years youll pay just as much as the watch to do so, and run a pretty good risk of damaging the springbars to the point of rendering them warped or broken. the simple act of removing the springbars themselves is enough to strip out the lugs sometimes.
the clearances between the lugs and springbars are also very tight, so it discourages aftermarket additions like NATO bands or third party straps.
the B650WB is somewhat more durable.
Wow, apart from obviously cool project I'm super impressed with the minimalist website design, aesthetics, effort put in the video to match the aesthetics and all without any JS. Either this is the first time I'm visiting this site or I don't remember; But I wonder how they are managing to compete with Node.JS in the search engines with that name. Google doesn't respect even N-O-D-E, where as DDG brings up the site a…
I also liked the transcript below the video so you can read along. I wish more sites would do that. I'm not hearing impaired (though it's definitely a boon if you are), but it's a lot more convenient to just see the words sometimes.
Self plug: I have a startup related site which is text only and occasionally I draw some comics which always consists of transcription.
I used to buy F91W watches all the time. they were fun and practical, but wasteful. the most shameful fact about the F91W isnt its spartan design or its affordable price, but the fact that the timepiece with its ten year battery will easily outlast its resin strap, and its springbars are nothing more than pot steel held into the soft plastic lugs by friction alone.

I imagine the average person generate more daily plastic waste before lunch time than goes in to an average F91W.

I found N-O-D-E a few years ago when I was just starting to get into programming. Their early raspberry pi gadgets were so cool and encouraged me to go out and try to make my own stuff. On top of that their channel used to do semi regular tech news updates, and after a bit of a hiatus it appears as though they're posting again which is exciting.
