I came across this and am not sure if it is a great idea or a terrible one. It is not just for contactless payments but also for cash withdrawals at Acleda ATM's that accept contactless. I hope you also need a PIN for cash withdrawals or the watch becomes a very attractive items for thieves (contactless already has plenty of security issues).

There are only two wrists on the average human body, and you already have normal watches, Smart Watches and health monitors already competing for very limited bodily real estate. Who would want to wear one of these when it only has one function? You can do everything it does with your phone.

Am I missing something or just a luddite?

It looks to me that the number they will be, the customers will be saying look at my wrist I have money. A kind of Acleda's alite.

What is "flexing"?

Well, I wear a watch pretty much every day. Not sure if you consider, I surely don’t, a $250 Bulova “flexing”, but I like it.

The big boss here likes his watches.
