Okay before I actually post; what is with these crazy new over-intrusive popups? GTFO! (seriously, surely we can finally have a server upkeep donate option rather than irritating ads?)

Right.
Back ontrack.

I started a 2nd job 6 months ago, there are 17 buildings onsite and over 25 doors that are RFID fob access.
Staff are issued with landyards & fobs but when you're carrying bulk of stuff through the doors using both arms, it isn't practical to grab your lanyard for the fob to swipe through.

So 2 weeks ago I bodged up a duct tape wrist bracelet so I could wave my hand over the sensors to get through; however due to weather/washing hands, the tape gets wet and gives up.

I have found RFID bracelets online but I do listen to music on my phone when walking across the site, so having a smart watch that controls music & can be RFID programmed to act as my fob would be perfect.
I cannot find anything online to recommend any RFID chip carrying smart watches. Cheap and basic will do - how is this difficult in 2025??

Any suggestions? Something like:

Getting complex RFID devices to emulate other RFID stuff... technically possible I guess but could you just buy some of these:

And get your tech guys to recognise them for the doors?

I have got a pack of these in an amazon basket, the whole programme pad for the fobs is something we do ourselves because we update resident fobs and issue temporary ones, so I can have a bash without any IT involvement (which being a global corp, is nothing short of a headache).

LOL at the boombox... still doesn't help me carry what I need to for the actual job Wink

RFIDs are usually one of two frequency ranges - 125kHz and 13.56MHz - make sure you have the right ones Smile

I got the silicone bracelet for the minute, it's working great to begin with.

I'm thinking a watch is a must Laughing

The problem with RFID in mainstream phones and watches is it's bound up in contactless payments so getting them to do anything out of the ordinary's discouraged.

Potential apps will be a little iffy...
