Smartwatches are dominating the news and market these days, but the somewhat unclear adoption rates are pushing brands to rethink approaches, which is why the Swatch Bellamy watch is here to help offer a touch of technology (but not too much). Designed to look, feel and act like a traditional Swatch watch, the Swatch Bellamy watch is packed with NFC technology to allow for wireless payments at supported retailers.
The Swatch Bellamy watch was recently partnered with Visa who will help the product roll out in a variety of countries including Brazil, Switzerland and the United States in early 2016.
The fresh styling of the Swatch Bellamy watch makes it a frontrunner for products that will help to ease the burden of going straight from analog to digital when it comes to smartwatches.
