Swatch will allow you to make VISA payments in your Bellamy

swatch-visa

All companies are joining the bandwagon of allowing wireless payments of any purchase with their devices and now we know the case of Swatch and VISA, which come together to allow these payments in Swath's first watch with this feature available. For now it is surprising that a giant like VISA is running on the side of the Swiss watch company in the first instance, but it is not strange either after the friction between Apple and Swatch. On the other hand, there is nothing that has to worry the user in principle, since payments with VISA from any wearable device should end up arriving sooner or later.

At the moment what Swatch itself announces is that it is a watch whose name is: swatch bellamy. The rest of the specifications, price or data of the new swatch bellany are unknown and we can say that they are a well-kept secret right now. What is clear and they have wanted to share with the media, is that It will be sold in early 2016 in Switzerland, the United States and Brazil.

Swatch was only missing in this "fight" to take the lead in terms of payments through NFC and the truth is that competition undoubtedly benefits the user and more when we are talking about a conventional watch with this current payment option using the well-known chip. In this case, what we hope is that VISA does not close in band with this company (exclusivity agreements or similar) and allows the rest of the companies to negotiate its use in the rest of the smartwatch.
