   I would say 90% of the time when I pay debit it's using my watch now.  The   
   other 10% seems to be at gas stations where most (but not all) of the pumps   
   don't accept debit tap.

   Because I'm right handed & I wear my watch on my left wrist, I don't really   
   seem to have a problem.  Everything is positioned conveniently for me, I just   
   double tap the button on the watch and tap away.   
      
   I have seen some others where they do some sort of tai chi manoeuvre and   
   shuffle over to use their left wrist to tap.  That does look awkward.

   Some pin pads are better than others.  I like the ones where the tap sensor is   
   under the screen.  There are new(er) ones out where there's a separate tap   
   space above the screen that isn't easily visible, so I'm waving my watch   
   around the screen like a magic wand and then notice the tap symbol at the top   
   of the device.
