Fidesmo vs Curve/Google/Apple Pay?

DefinitelyNotOCD

I was wondering how a Fidesmo gadget compares to that of Google/Curve/Apple Pay?

I really don't like the idea of Curve Pay because I've just never heard of them, and would prefer to use Apple as Apple doesn't store your transactions (and obviously Google Pay doesn't work on GrapheneOS.)

That leaves Fidesmo. Does a Fidesmo gadget have the same privacy protections as these other 3? Generates a unique token for every payment, and doesn't reveal your actual card info? Does it store your transactions like Google or not so like Apple?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

EDIT: The same should be asked about Garmin / other NFC wearables. How do they stack up privacy/security wise?

EDIT2: It seems these gadgets rarely support actual mainstream banks, and I believe people are putting their cards on Curve (or something similar?) and then linking it to the wearable? In that case, I guess it doesn't have any benefit as you're still going through the 3rd party.

Still interested on hearing input from any users.

I use Garmin on my watch and Fidesmo on my ring, works fine so far.

Both are linked to the virtual Curve card and behind this you put your real credit cards and select the one you want to pay with.

I would go without Curve, but none of my cards are supported directly. So there is no other option...
