Representatives of the Swiss watchmaker Swatch has long been talking about, that their products have to get smarter gradually acquire only those functions that really need the consumer. In particular, Swatch threatened to release watches with the support of NFC, which could be used to quickly pay for goods and services in institutions equipped with compatible terminals.
As reports Bloomberg, the corresponding clock Swatch Bellamy will appear in mid-January sold in China for the equivalent of $ 91. The choice of this country as the debut of the market is not accidental - largest bank Bank of Communications Co. and payment system UnionPay will provide reception of payments via NFC in China. Swiss banks is very difficult to persuade such experiments as the recognized representatives of the Swatch. However, this does not mean that the watch Bellamy will not appear outside of China - they come not only in Switzerland but also in the US, but a little later.
