I live in one of Poland's neighboring countries. Contactless payments are the norm in Eastern Europe, but people are still sometimes shocked when I pay with my Garmin watch. I'd love to get a payment implant just to freak people out when I pay with it. The security aspect is also pretty nice, though I'm more worried about the potential to misuse them as tracking devices if they ever become common.
