Apple Pay Adoption On The Apple Watch Could Hit 95%

One of the features of the Apple Watch is its ability to make mobile payments, thanks to Apple Pay. The way it works is similar to the iPhone where you basically tap your watch against the terminal and you’re good to go. While Apple Pay adoption on iPhones seems to be in a flux right now, adoption on the Apple Watch seems to be pretty high.

According to a survey conducted by Wristly (via 9to5Mac), it seems that at the moment, adoption of the Apple Pay by Apple Watch owners is at an impressive 80%. Based on this rate, Wristly expects that it will soon rise to 95% which is actually pretty impressive when you consider that Apple Pay is only available in the US and the UK at the moment.

In terms of how much they enjoyed the experience, 51% participants in survey called it a “magical” experience, while 42% claimed that it was convenient. Interestingly enough only 4% did not find it useful and 3% claimed to have some concerns about it, which is mostly about its security and how secure making such a transaction is.

The survey also found that 79% preferred that Apple Pay be available on the Apple Watch than on the iPhone, which we suppose makes sense since a watch would be already out and ready to make payments, as opposed to phones where you might have to reach into a pocket or a bag to take it out.
