With either the App Tasker or nfc launcher you can make a setting to enter that pin to allow it to work I believe

Too bad we need the one that costs around 43$ because we need the alpha for the gs4

Be careful and make sure to get the "ALPHA MAN" size... That is the only one that works with the S4.

1000s of potential uses above and beyond cell phone technology. Can you imagine a firearm that has an NFC unit in the handle that only will fire if the shooter has the correctly coded NFC ring? A car that will only start if a person with an NFC ring pushes a button to start it? Yea, it's not perfect, but the potential is there.

Ditto. I don't even wear my wedding ring, but I backed the Alpha one a a few weeks ago and besides it being thicker it kind of looks like my wedding ring, haha.
BUT, here’s my concern for us S4 owners. Have you ever watched John McLear’s (NFC Ring creator) video of him unlocking the Nexus 7? The beauty of this video is that not only can it unlock and bypass a PIN (as I’ve been able to do with the S4 in my video), but once your NFC ring is removed it locks it back up! I couldn’t find any NFC mods that enable “NFC Removal” detection for the S4 yet so I’m wondering how McLear plans to package the ring.
OK. Just did a little digging and found that they now have an Xposed mod for this. I’LL BE TRYING THIS OUT THIS MORNING! Hopefully it works.
that thing is cool. never even knew there are so many nfc functions.

Seems like a fun thing to play around with, but I almost never hold my phone directly facing my eyes. I tried using the smart stay feature before I switched to an AOSP ROM and it seemed to give me more trouble than it was worth. It's a great idea though. Maybe they need to put a second fisheye camera on the front of the device to detect eye movement in a greater area

Give the heart rate monitor app in the play store a try, it uses your camera flash and the camera to record pulse. Should be similar. Also, at&t stores have floor models for you to try out!

My Gear 2 DOES NOT WORK, I have exchanged 2 of them. I'm not even that dark. I'm a good brown and it works 0 percent of the time... I see a class action lawsuit in Samsung future (or a simple software update).. for a item that does not work as advertised.

It is far from an exact science. Shine light into skin, measure the time between changes of color, calculate.
It also will not be the only heart rate option out there. It's stock software used to enhance the product. The real power comes with the installed apps.
I'm sure it's more of a software thing than a hardware thing, especially if you've already taken two of them back. Either wait for a new heart rate app or try and roll your own.
If you purchased the watch specifically for the heart rate capabilities, you may want to return it and wait until the product has had time to mature.
Good luck to you.
Thanks everyone for your feed back. I ended up getting the G2N and it works on my lite skin. This smartwatch is amazing. True happy with my purchase.
I have same issue. But don't really mind its not a feature I plan to use a lot or at all. Funny as I'm in the health field.
