    I bought a Garmin to accompany my Graphene Pixel, only to discover that my bank doesn’t support Garmin Pay.

    So, MagSafe wallet attached my phone it is then.

        On the phone itself? I don’t think it does. The Wallet app doesn’t work at all for NFC payments in GrapheneOS, because Google are shit heads.

      I just hope the new pebble supports a Sim card soon but I’m not holding my breath. I just want talk, text, and a calendar. Music or a matrix app could be cool too so I can run beeper or similar through it. Other than that I have a tablet or laptop and tbh I’m thinking my next tablet when this one finally dies or I maybe give it away would be a remarkable or other epaper device. My coworkers are starting to think I’m a Luddite but whatever.
