I bank with Halifax and had a CC with Barclays. Until last week, Halifax didn't accept AP and BC still don't, so I got myself a Santander CC just to play with AP.
Got a tip for us?

I hope us in the UK start seeing shipping information today (tracking number via UPS) like the US did yesterday. I wanna track mine from China.
I swear delivery men wait for you to leave the house and then try to deliver. So many "Sorry we missed you" cards!
Hmm so I'll have a useless watch for a week too 
Still I'll appreciate it when I get the new one I guess!

With Apple Pay on the watch.
If I want to pay for something done literally just tap the watch? Or do I have to load up the card?

What actually happened in regards to the theft; I have always wondered how it occurs. Did they just approach her with a knife or something? Or just grab it randomly and run?
Any idea on Barclays? Do they have an official statement about Apple Pay and whether they're planning on introducing it?
To be honest Natwest was top of my list to begin with. But just found out that first direct offer £125 for joining them. Which is pretty good. Touch ID would be an advantage but not the be all and end all. How do you pay cash into a first direct account? Anybody know?
Yes they are planning on supporting it in the near future. But on the Apple Pay page Barclays isn't even on the coming soon part. Reason I am leaving Barclays is that they don't keep up with modern trends and are very slow to modernise themselves. Staying with a bank for a long period of time does help your credit rating. But just got my first CC and I don't see myself needing a new one for a long time. Basically till the interest free runs out.
Double click the favourites button on the side of the watch ( not the crown ) that will bring up Apple Pay, select the card you want to use and hold it near the card machine.
Im going to give Barclasy till the end of the year to bring Apple pay. Ive already opened another current account with Santander just to play with it, but its a faff. Only need one account, so if not launched by end f year ill close and stick with santander.
I think we will see dispatch notice's from late evening today ( early morning in China ) .

Googled Barclays and Apple Pay.
https://www.barclaycardus.com/servicing/applePay <-- So It's available in the US on Barclayscard.
And according to this: http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news/2015/07/apple_pay_barclays_confirms_it_will_use_platform/ back in July, it might happen soon. Although thinking 2016.
“We are really excited about the launch of Apple Pay and will bring Barclays debit cards and Barclaycard credit cards to Apple Pay in the future.”

Has anyone tried to track through Syncreon yet (https://seal.syncreon.com/synview-online.moc/360.syn/system_selection.p)? I seem to recall one of my previous Apple orders being trackable through there as well as the actual Courier delivering the package.
My Watch came UPS, but I'm pretty certain that my i5 & 6+ came UKMail (I'm about 15 mins from Heathrow T5 if that helps?).
Said this before on the forum somewhere, Barclays is using android pay first before Apple Pay.
