I never thought I needed a smartwatch until I lost a debit card while traveling abroad. I started using Google Pay on my phone to lessen the risk of losing yet another card, but then I became afraid of losing my phone, which would be just as bad.
Shortly afterward, I read that you could program a smartwatch button specifically for Google Pay. Clicking a single button seemed like the perfect solution, and with the watch attached to my wrist, I wouldn’t have to worry about losing it… or my phone, or a card.
