That's good workflow, many people complain about Apple Pay will slow you down and the line of people on Tube and busses. You sound like it takes same amount of time - you just need to prepare.

Sorry Chris I am on iOS9 that's probably why then, you just double click the home button whilst the screen is off and wallet comes up with your card ready, if you leave your thumb on for a split second it automatically reads it and your ready to go.
I bought a McMuffin today in Dagenham, Essex with my watch. Worked perfectly, I like this a lot.

I believe passbook will appear automatically in the lock screen if it detects that you're in an Apple Pay supported location. This works by Location Services, the same way that it displays, say, the Starbucks app icon if you're in a Starbucks.
You must have a purple Natwest Debit Card. If you have a blue card, it won't work.
Just to echo my message above, I just got off the phone and you must have a purple debit card from Natwest. If it's blue, you're out of luck.
If Lidl and Co-Op can support it then why can't Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons support it? That's where most people do their shopping.
After tapping in with my watch and tapping out with my Phone (for the hell of it) I read on TFL that they advise you to use the same device for all transactions to avoid penalties and to ensure you get daily and weekly capping.
As far as I'm aware, morrisons do support it! At least in all the shops I've been to in Manchester. Sainsburys and Asda on the other hand DO have the equipment installed to allow apple pay and contactless payments, but they haven't activated it yet. Very frustrating!
Yes I don't think that was a good idea. My guess is you will be charged the full daily capped rate. Maybe twice.
Sainsbury's are rolling out new POS software updates to enable all forms of contactless. I wouldn't expect it to be enabled until late next year though.
I've used it twice today. Once for a McDoanld's breakfast, and another at my local corner shop.
The cashier at my local corner shop was a little bemused at how I was paying with my phone but never questioned it.

Tried to pay in M&S. Phone said Payment successful or something similar but the card reader didn't acknowledge anything had happened. Transaction shows up in passbook but I had to pay using my debit card in the end.
Contactless payments were never intended to accept £200 purchases for good reason. If you lost your card would you be happy for someone to go on an unlimited spending spree with it? I know I wouldn't. The contactless cards were intended as a quick and easy way to make small purchases instead of using cash.
I wouldn't be surprised if your riding your kangaroo to work, given the current snow storm in Australia in the middle of summer.
Tried using it at Boots today with my Santander card, came up transaction failed.
Some info from Natwest for those struggling to register their cards...
Apparently you have to have a contactless debit card in order to use Apple pay (don't know how true this is), these can be requested by phoning them up.
