    “Needs to” may be a bit strong for you, but for me it’s legit. I will NOT switch to an OS without Google Pay, Apple Pay, or Samsung Pay.

    If my phone is dead, broken, or stolen, I use my watch.

      You can still use Google pay on a smartwatch even if it’s paired with a grapheneOS phone if that interests you. I use an oura ring for biometrics so I don’t have a smart watch, but that’s one factor that tempted me to ditch the ring for a watch.

      I also just don’t think it’s legit practically speaking. Plenty of shops, gas stations, etc do not support apple pay or Google pay, so what then?

        That’s great, I still need primary on the phone with backup on the watch.

        I have not encountered a place that doesn’t accept Apple Pay since I stopped going to Walmart years ago.
