Casio's Credit Card Watch

Posted by michael on from the calculator-watches-suddenly-uncool dept.

Takuryu writes "Casio, working with Japanese credit card company, JCB, has developed a combination credit card wristwatch. Workers at the main JCB office wear the RFID tagged watches and use them for security access at the office, as well as for paying for lunch in the cafeteria. I wonder what percentage of employees they have tagged?"

    Interesting, but that is probably too technologically advanced for most people. New technology seeks to make the lives of people more efficient but there has to be a threshold on whats realistically acceptable and what's not.

    Also, I don't see how the credit card watch can serve as "identification points" as a normal credit card does.
