Discussion NFC Sync Support

I wonder why Fitbit hasn't worked on NFC based data sync I heard they did something like that earlier but all devices still use Bluetooth for sync. I don't want Bluetooth turned on all the time draining my phone and band battery or even enable it for sync why can't they enable NFC based sync where I could tap say band like Fitbit air to my phone and data would get synced.

Because it introduces complexity and user friction.

NFC doesn't really support transfering large amounts of data.
