I saw someone awkwardly trying to use their Apple watch to pay for something the other day. It was kind of funny.
I wonder what the numbers would be like in the UK, where contactless payment is already fairly widespread...
- TheOtherHobbes 11y agoI'm not in London, but also not in a tiny village. In this large town I've literally seen exactly one person wearing a Watch in the last year. My local big supermarket doesn't have contactless, so doesn't support ApplePay. In other stores, I've never seen it being used. I suspect there's been some take-up in London - but Apple really haven't killed this one, especially considering that iPhones are everywhere.
- dogma1138 11y agoAlmost every store I've been too has Apple Pay and contactless support the only places I haven't seen contactless being supported so far are small mom and pap's store/kiosks which I would be weary of using a card in in the first place (seen enough worldpay PED terminals held together with tape for a life time). Barclays is still refusing to support Apple Pay since it's trying to kick of it's own payment service but other than that everyone supports it even Tesco. I haven't seen anyone paying with the apple watch it would be rather awkward based on how most card readers are positions but it's very easy and quick to pay with the phone.
