When tapping phone to my galexy watch It reads my watch as a nfc/gym equipment and the same for my watch, it reads my phone as gym equipment, and it's really annoying, because
It happens all the time.
It's a normal thing that people's phones are near their watches the phone should be able to recognize that it's my galaxy watch and my watch is not to recognize that it's my phone, not gym equipment.

Same issue here, I was wondering if it's some sort of feature

Who taps their watch to their phone? Even if I have an accidental encounter between my watch and phone (any phone at all), I have never had an NFC activation.  But, I keep NFC off at all times on my phone unless actively using an app that uses it.  Samsung wallet turns it on and off automatically and I have a routine for Google wallet to do the same.  Just being in proximity to the phone (ie holding the phone in the hand wearing the watch) should not be enough to activate an NFC reading, even if NFC is on.  NFC requires an actual touch to an NFC reader - hence "tap to pay".  It also should not be identifying anything as any kind of equipment.  Perhaps it's not actually the NFC that's being triggered, but something else.  

 

Put in an error report so a determination can be made as to what is happening here.
