In reply to Mike Stone (Linux Rants).

Fair enough statement, and we have a long ways to go with these early stages of Apple Watch and Apple Pay, as well as other smartwatches. Yes, ok, 100% conversion is a leap, but I think the wrist-worn payment method, be it via Google Wallet or Apple Pay, is a game changer. You have to at least wonder if Google is considering placing NFC technology in its base Android Wear software/hardware reference design.

Speaking on the sales figures: The report that showed up on Quartz mentioned that it was not known if this 20K-30K per day figure included only the US or all countries where Apple Watch is being sold. Now, if we took the minimal 20K-30K per day, the total sold, especially given the typical gadget sales increase in November/December, will still be upwards of 7-11 Million. If half of those users adopt Apple Pay, then there would be 3.5-5.5 Million Apple Pay / Apple Watch users. Who knows? I do not intend to purchase an Apple Watch immediately (even then it would only be primarily for development purposes) and I would consider an Android Wear device, if it had a payment mechanism.....
