      I did it when I was travelling to the US a few years back and the store clerk looked at me like I had two heads. It’s so normal in Canada I never thought much of it, and here I was a celebrity in this store and everyone was just wow’d at the magic I’d done.

      It is definitely picking up very quickly currently. Far more common in the last couple years than before.

      I’m in the US and use my watch or phone for nearly every purchase. I was at the farmers market this morning and used my watch for five transactions. The last time I used a card was at the dentist a few weeks ago.
