Swatch has partnered with Visa to create a watch capable of making smartphone payments with the swipe of your wrist.
The Swatch Bellamy , scheduled to launch in early 2016, can be used anywhere contactless Visa payments are accepted, the companies jointly announced Monday .
Switzerland- based Swatch is one of several traditional watchmakers collaborating with companies outside of their industry to make connected timepieces.
Swatch didn't offer much else in terms of specs on the Belamy, other than promising payment transactions use no energy, so users can expect the same battery life they get from any other Swatch model.
