My phone doesn't have NFC, want to use for contacless payments

[EnderW]

Hi guys,

I have a Asus ZenFone 3, it does not have NFC but I would like to use it contactless payments.

What is the best and cheapest wearable I could use for this? You know, pairing it via BT and using the wearable NFC capability.

"Best" is very subjective and depends on what other features you might want. There's a huge number of Wear OS watches out there so I'd recommend starting with this spread sheet that lists most of them and details their features. Any Wear OS watch with NFC should work fine for contactless payments via Google Pay.

One of those rings maybe. Somebody did a review about that... Mr. Mobile maybe?
I don't think he tested your particular scenario @EnderW.

I thought it was the Motiv Mr. Mobile reviewed but that's a fitbit for your finger.

The "Kerv" ring looks promising but I haven't seen much about it.
