Just one - debit and credit card compatible payment method - as PayPal
that would see the enormous advantage of having the cheaper watch NFC for payment
at their service.
And for security measures, they can help funding new ones.

Update: I don't have a usecase anymore needing to hack NFC into a tiny device with a screen - by now, a lot of the continuous glycaemia monitors have switched away from NFC and toward BLE protocols.
NFC/RFID on a smartwatch could still have other applications simple to deploy locally without need to involve complex banking certifications. E.g.
Using RFID tag stickers as "non-powered smart button" - tap the smartwatch against a tag and the watch sends some signal to home assistant to trigger complex scripts (See this tweet as an example)
Or using RFID-like function from the watch itself as an entry card for some facilty, etc (Swatch has had the Snowpass function for year, e.g. this had one).
