   Hello Jay!   
      
   ** On Monday 25.10.21 - 08:16, you wrote to me:

   A watch is normally worn on the left wrist anyway, I thought.      
   I'm a leftee for writing, but I've always worn a watch on my     
   left wrist. When you tip the watch to read it, the main control     
   knob would be strategically positioned so that the right hand     
   can access it.  But I digress.   
      
   I was just saying that I see people (right-handed, or left-    
   handed) trying to position the face of their watches to be in      
   parallel with the rfid POS sensor (on my POS the sensor is     
   under the display screen - model iCT250) . That requires a full     
   twist of the wrist with fingers pointing up. I was thinking     
   that a 90deg attack ought to work too.   
      
      
    JH> I have seen some others where they do some sort of tai chi   
    JH> manoeuvre and shuffle over to use their left wrist to tap.   
    JH>  That does look awkward.   
      
   I guess that's what I'm witnessing by everyone.   
      
      
    AA>> Wouldn't the watch work at 90deg to the sensor?   
      
    JH> Some pin pads are better than others.  I like the ones   
    JH> where the tap sensor is under the screen.  There are   
    JH> new(er) ones out where there's a separate tap space above   
    JH> the screen that isn't easily visible, so I'm waving my   
    JH> watch around the screen like a magic wand and then notice   
    JH> the tap symbol at the top of the device.   
      
   My POS' display cycles the "tap" symbol, the price, and back to     
   the "tap" symbol, right on the glass display. The sensor is     
   under that glass display.  I have some people reaching above     
   the display thinking that the sensor is in the paper-roll     
   compartment.  :/   
      
   People who use their phones have it easier. All they need to do     
   is bring the phone close enough and it works. No funny twisting     
   required.
