Dear Community / Apple,

I would like to ask in the name of many Smart Home Community,

There is any developing / There is any future plan about make Apple Watches able to read NFC Tags / Stickers?

Many of us would like to use Apple Watch to use Home Automations with NFC Stickers, but we have to use our iPhone instead of the Watch, what would be the most logical way to use these things.

We does not really understand why this was not added by default, and why we cannot find any official information about this?

Please provide us some answer, at least we should know should we still wait for this feature or this is not gonna be enabled by Apple?!

Thank you very much,
Gery

Please Apple company add NFC tag reading functionality to the Apple Watch, just like all the previous commentators asked for. I'm sure we would even pay extra for it. Please do it before the Apple Watch becomes obsolete, like every technical gadget eventually has to. Do it for humanity now. Or, at least tell us that it won't happen or that we have to wait until the augmented reality glasses are proven a flop.

I was postponing the watch purchase, but then I just went for it because of all the things I intended on using it - the NFC tags and automation were up there in the top 5. Didn't even cross my mind that there was a possibility of it not working on the watch...eh.

Everyone wants this, and You can make it happen Apple <3
