That would limit the use to american only women and above right?
Haha, well. Maybe an option to account for larger wrists, whilst keeping a smaller option available.

Seems odd that Apple would introduce a new product if they are still having manufacturing issues. It would be embarrassing if they have to redesign some aspect of it before launch.
Problem with wallet has never been about convenience, but the fact nearly anyone can use it without needing a PIN in the US. Heck, my debit card is almost more secure since I do need a PIN for charges over a certain amount.
I believe the watch will sense when you put it on and take it off. So, you put it on and do a touchID on the phone. It knows it is you wearing the watch now. As long as you keep the watch on and it stays in range of the phone, you need not authenticate anything more on the watch or phone. Wave your watch at the cash register and you're done.How does Touch ID come into play?
Wasn't the whole thing about Touch ID was to use it for mobile payments?
How is that going to work on a watch?
These dumb puns just tick me off.

It's probably not going to be released right away. They probably want to be the one to announce it before everything about it is leaked.
Not a big deal if things need to be redesigned as I'm sure they won't be showing a 100% final version.
This is my favorite of the iWatch Mockups. I'd wear that watch in the mockup if it had an Apple logo on it.
I hope so! This is where NFC for mobile payments SHOULD be. If I have to pull my phone out of my pocket, why not just pull out my wallet?
Waving my wrist seems more efficient.
New products always get announced months ahead of time for this reason. iPod, iPhone, iPad, new Mac Pro, etc. They can't stop the leaks, doubling down or not.

This is my dream for the iWatch:
and of course the boring tethered functions Android wearables seem to be doing, smartphone notifications.
- B&M payments with a wave of wrist
- integrated passbook (wave wrist to scan tickets)
- integrated healthkit (EMT can scan wrist for vital health info)
- lock/unlock doors upon entry/leaving
- close/open garage door upon entry/leaving
- start my car upon seating (hello Tesla)
- lock/unlock my car doors
- log in/log out of my computer upon wake/sleep
- adjust home heating/cooling via remotely or upon entry/leaving
- control music playlist played through home speakers
I agree it would be nice and efficient in an iWatch, but why a phone is better than a wallet for NFC is because you'd have to carry a NFC chip in your wallet for each NFC card you had. If you have membership cards and CC, you'd lighten your wallet load if it was in the phone. Also it's more secure in a phone than in your wallet, because it can be turned off and on. Off and on with the fingerprint reader could mean only you can use that NFC device on a phone.
If the iWatch looks like the bracelet, or the one in this thread I won't buy it. So then no NFC for those who don't buy the iWatch?
YM a device that royally screws you when it gets stolen?
