Watch2pay comes with a MasterCard prepaid “watch card,” resembling a SIM card in size and shape, that is inserted into a slot on the side of the watch to enable payments. The card, which is valid for up to two-years, can be loaded with credit online via the user’s Kalixa eAccount.

The device is now available through the Watch2pay website for £99.
