The Swiss watchmaker has partnered with Visa to enable an NFC payment feature in its upcoming watch, the Swatch Bellamy.
After months of rumour and speculation, Swatch has teamed up with China’s UnionPay to release its very first NFC-enabled watch, with Chinese consumers now able to make payments with the tap of their wrist.
After initially dismissing the possibility of creating wearable technology for its customers, Nick Hayek, CEO of Swatch, is set to announce the release of a brand new smartwatch, possibly coming to our wrists this summer.
Swatch has unveiled plans to release a smartwatch in the next three months with the capacity for mobile payments, ready to go head to head with the Apple Watch after its release in April.
