I was interested in NFC payments using a smartwatch. Do these watches support NFC payment? I didn't see any mention of it.
Nope. I just use my phone.

Who chooses the "correct" use of words? Is it you? Wikipedia disagrees with you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_margin . Maybe you should make your own encyclopedia.
you mean some person on wikipedia disagrees with him.

I think it's reasonable too, but it also means I don't want to pony up $150 now to potentially have the seller renege and (hopefully) refund me later. I can make use that $150 between then and now.
That's a problem you should take up with the US government instead of small businesses trying to survive this administration
Sadly the damage these people are causing by their implicit support for the end of the modern world won’t fix the problem when America realises it’s making itself poorer, history shows countries double down.
Is there some definite information about what kind of "e-paper" is used for those? While I like reflective LCD more than backlit LCD/TFT a "real" e-paper (as in eInk) is far better readable in low light, so would be nice to know.. For e-paper feeling we still have the Watchy (with far less battery life and close to no available software admittedly)
I agree that a true electrophoretic display is a lot nicer to look at; unfortunately the refresh rate leaves a lot to be desired in a highly interactive watch. Hopefully someday we get a technology with the best of both worlds.

Personally I never found myself using my NFC payment watch. It felt like if I was venturing far enough to the store, I'm just going to bring my phone with me anyways. I wonder if this differs for areas that don't get as much suburban sprawl.
Less to carry, less to idly distract myself with.
I'll be hanging out here - happy to answer any questions you have!
Is there an emulator available somewhere where one can start prototyping an app with tap support?
I'm pleased the pricing is so low. I did some math and if they're making 10k of these (not clear if that's each or all together), there's not a ton of money to be made. Assuming $100 average profit, that's a $2M for 20k watches. Given the work opportunities that the founder and other employees have, that's not a lot of money for them to make in a year, and it comes with significant risk. Basically seems like this is…
I'm highly skeptical that they will sell 20k units at that price point.

I have no reason to think that it will not work well for 2 years, but I am not prepared to guarantee that in a warranty. That would be taking on too much risk as a small company.
Your explanation is reason enough to cancel. I have experienced enough hardware fails the day after the warranty to avoid purchasing anything that I do not consider disposable. I still have my Vector watch which suffered the same fate as Pebble. I am curious about the risk of a "at cost" replacement. I have avoided buying a FitBit to replace my existing FitBit because their warranty is also limited to "one year" whic…

Same here. Based in the EU, I was ready to buy one on day one, but when I saw the prices listed only in USD I had to stop right there. Just the shipping alone would be $25, plus the uncertainty of duty fees. I hope to see an EU store soon — with prices in EUR, low-cost shipping, and all fees already factored in.
International shipments will not be sent from the USA; they'll be shipped directly from Asia. The comment is in reference to your own countries - they may charge tariffs.
Poor notification integration because of the restrictions on iOS explained in their blog post.
If you want long battery life, I’d go for a Garmin. But the Apple Watch is really the best option for 90% of people.
