NFC payment
-
Guys,
Will Suunto Race get NFC payment feauture in the future? I’m considering to buy this watch and I’m wondering if there are any plans or chance to have this feature implemented later on. -
@stigman88 If someone here knows, they will be under NDA. You are not likely to get an answer to this question.

If Race has HW implemented NFC chip, therefore, that is possible. Otherwise no chance. I’m not sure, if Race has that HW installed.
-
@ppresing yes, there is NFC hardware built in the Race.
Have just answered a similar question on FB. NFC can be used for many things, including sensor pairing, access control and other cool stuff. Payment needs a backend linked to the watch - no idea about Suunto’s plans, but that would be a rather big invest for a company of Suunto’s size… -
@Egika I agree. The only model that supported NFC payment, was S7. Android based (WEAR OS BY GOOGLE
), but only for Google Pay, no Apple Pay. I doubt, we will ever have NFC payment on Race, Vertical. -
Hello to all. Is there any update on this topic? I am considering Suunto Race, but NFC is important for me.
