Have been looking around for a smartwatch that has GPS (for basic exercises) and NFC (for contactless payment) for under $150. Any recommendations?

parma?
Mi band 7 Pro ~$100
Is there a global version yet?
no, but there probably will be negligible difference unless you want a language other than Chinese or English.
According to some users, the NFC and GPS doesn't work outside China. Probably better to wait for the global one.
GPS doesn't work outside China.
If you point the watch towards the Chinese satellites, it works fine…
@jv: I guess you're right, my bad. I based my prior statement off this thread: "If you are outside China in the app. Only traces the gps route we used on a blank screen in the app since Google maps or Bing maps are not integrated."
@Lerik: It's only the NFC that wont work out of China, and that has always been the case for mi bands.
You'd have to up your budget at least to 200 or 250.
You might be able to pickup a ticwatch once they go on sale. (i.e. On Amazon)
2nd hand Samsung S3 Frontier. or similar
