✅ Garmin Pay: I can now buy oat milk with my watch!

+1 for Garmin integration. Would be great to be able to use my watch as intended. Will try curve for now though.

I know Monzo has previously indicated that they are not likely to implement this. However, I wanted to add that this is not just a luxury feature (i.e. why don’t use the card a smart phone) as my Garmin watch works as a backup and is often the only thing I have on me when I am out running.

It’s not really luxury, it’s a niche product. I don’t see it happening anytime soon.

As @Revels said, it’s a bit of a niche feature. I suspect that Monzo have bigger fish to fry at the moment, but never say never.

Garmin Pay will need to get in the queue behind this, though :wink:

Does the N in NFC stand for NEIGH? :grin::innocent:

Can’t you slip a tenner somewhere or find a place to put a card? I always something with me (usually my phone).

It kind of is a luxury really to be able to buy things despite not having anything on you but an exercise watch.

I don’t know how people can go out without their phone. I’d love to be able to do it, especially when I’m on my bike and I want to be free and disconnected from the world but I don’t feel safe.

If I was to get injured or lost I’d need my phone to get help. I’d also get paranoid that a friend or family would need me in an emergency and I’d be uncontactable.

I nearly always have my phone BUT I now also pay for a line on my Apple Watch. One time I was left waiting for an ambulance at the end of a road for a colleague and I had left my phone on my desk. It was rotten.

So now my watch will always work even without my phone.

:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Yours don’t?!

(Nah I pay for a phone line :grin:)

I second this, Apple watch GPS tracks like :poop: compared to a real fitness watch like Garmin.

Thankfully the Curve workaround works fine, so if I’m in a trendy sheep mood I can pay with my Apple watch, and if I’m in a serious fitness mood I can pay with the Garmin.

Would be nice to have native support though.

Yes to garmin pay please!

How did you get Monzo to work

^ :+1:

How did you get Monzo to work on garmin pay?

I think the previous poster was joking - they said they take their card with them.

The only way I know as a workaround is to sign up to Curve and add the Monzo card to Curve then the Curve card to Garmin pay.

Are there any plans to enable Garmin Pay? This would allow Monzo customers with Garmin watches to register their card to be used for payments.

Nope. I believe you could use Curve as a work around.
