Wristwatch with built-in credit card

To somebody, wristwatch could be one the most ubiquitous companion. It’s pretty nice and handy if your wristwatch could be swiped to pay your bills, food, bus fare etc. Although this is not everywhere yet in the world, but it’s been done at least for one country i.e Turkey. The Turkey bank has teamed up with MasterCard, which they have implemented the first watch in the world that comes with credit card built-in. PayPass is a special technology enabled on credit cards and keytags, which allows you to pay for smaller purchases by just tapping it onto a special sensor. Anytime, when your stomach is crying for food, just tap your new watch on the PayPass reader for a set Burger King or Macdonald meal. This wristwatch costs you only 15 euro.
