The possibility that the Apple Watch offers us to be able to pay in establishments compatible with NFC technology, is inspiring more manufacturers who are including it in their wearable devices. The latest to announce the use of an NFC chip in its next wearable models is Fitbit, the undisputed king of the market today in the world of quantifiers as we informed you a couple of days ago. In that classification we find Xiamoi in second position and Apple Watch in third but as the first smartwatch on the market since both Fitbit and Xiami only manufacture quantifiers.
Unlike other manufacturers, Firbit is not going to develop its own electronic payment system, but rather has directly bought the company Coin. Coin a company focused on consumer devices and electronic security applied to the financial world. The system used with Coin is compatible with all current credit and debit cards in the United States. At the moment there are no plans to add this new chip in the devices designed to be launched this year, but the company's plans would go through launching it in the new models next year.
Coin claims that stop selling your electronic payment devices and it is withdrawing all the devices that it currently has on the market but it will not stop supporting all the users who are currently using them during the next two years, approximate battery life of the Coin 2.0 card, after the which will no longer receive support. This year Fitbit has launched two models of quantifiers: the Blaze and Alta model aimed more at the world of fashion. Fitbit is trying to reach the maximum number of potential customers and currently offers a large number of models on the market for almost all tastes and needs.
