I don’t know why Casio doesn’t just do something like this themselves, I’d buy it. Don’t need a super smart watch but do like contactless payment with a wrist.

Apparently, Casio fails to recognize that nowadays, most people don't really need a watch for timekeeping because they carry a smartphone that does time perfectly well.

I wear a cheap $5 Chinese made watch only because I use it to carry a backup of all my crucial data with me at all times, even in the shower. If something goes bump in the night, my data is always with me so all I need to worry about is my own personal safety.

Casio could easily and cheaply add this to their watches and instantly make them much more desirable in my opinion.
