    Are you asking whether you should use grapheneos, your fitbit or a second phone for banking?

    A bank card is far more practical than a second phone. Even if Google Pay did work on GrapheneOS, I would not use it. It looks like a privacy nightmare.

      True, there really is no reason to configure a second phone just to use NFC payments when you can just carry a much smaller card…

      It is. Just put your card in your phone case if you really want to tap your phone to pay. Accepted in more places too :)

    If you must, the least invasive of the wearables that don’t suck is Garmin. Get a Garmin watch that supports it.

    Paying with NFC does lower the risk of getting a card cloned. The payment generates a unique code that’s worth only what you paid.
