Huawei Blocks NFC Payments on My Watch 5 Pro for No Reason

The Huawei Watch 5 Pro has NFC, yet it doesn’t support payments through BonusFlaş, while the latest model does. The feature, app, and watch store are all the same, but they purposely withhold features from slightly older models just to boost sales of the newest ones. The same problem exists with watch faces—if I buy the newest model now, I still won’t be able to use the faces from the next model that comes out. It’s absurd. I also have the Huawei Watch Ultimate and bought the Watch 5, but even in 2025, you still haven’t added the Watch 5’s keyboard to the Ultimate. I have a Watch 5 Pro with NFC, yet can’t use it for payments simply because it’s not the very latest model. Am I supposed to build a Huawei watch collection just to use each new feature? Would you, Huawei executives, pay a fortune for a new watch just for one feature? Give all features to all models—this policy will hurt your sales in the long run.

I am sending the invoices for the watches so that it is clear I have used them.
