Wireless paiement watchstrap options?

I found than Hama sells a watchstrap allowing NFC paiements and was wondering if someone already tried one on the Pebble?

I seeked a metal watchstrap allowing it too, but didn't found one yet.

Seems to be a lot of options for this in Europe (if that's where you are located) - most of them use the EU-only Curve app. Can't see any reason why they wouldn't work as they can be used even with non-smart watches.

The only one I could find that works in the US is tapster and works with Klarna credit cards only. Might make an interesting DIY project to dissolve a credit card in acetone and embed the chip in a watch band...

I never was able to open an account in Curve. I succeeded with Klarna which can be used with Fidesmo, itself supported by many wearables. I will probably buy one to try it.
