I live in California, but went back home to Sydney for a few weeks this year.
I used my apple watch to pay in about 90% of transactions, including parking meters!
Almost all merchants support "Visa PayWave" (aka NFC) so moving my wrist up to the terminal to pay was a fun talking point.
Not one checkout clerk had seen the apple watch used before, because the Aussie banks haven't reached an agreement with Apple yet.
- mikeash 11y agoThat's pretty cool. Of course I know that it's just standard NFC, but still neat to hear about it working that way. Meanwhile in the states, some idiot retailers actually shut off their NFC readers because they didn't want to support Apple Pay.
