Garanti Bank, a Turkish bank, has joined with MasterCard to offer the world’s first wristwatch with a PayPass-enabled credit card built in to their customers. PayPass is a contactless technology that enabled on credit cards and keytags. This is a new era for credit payments in Europe. From now on, customers can use their wristwatch to pay for smaller purchases by just tapping it onto a special sensor. You can purchase the PayPass watch just 15 euros, with no signature or PIN required.

Great, now they steal your watch & NO money. Dumb or make watch "unattractive" to steal. NO Rolex please. Maybe basic Brietag brand (aviation watch name etc). Basic black metal look. Maybe. & removable credit card Unit. Nice then.

I am still waiting for the PayPass-enabled credit card cell phones. Then I'll be set.
