I suppose it depends on whom you ask, since there are no hard numbers.

I had seen articles in the past with numbers from Whole Foods and McD's stating that Apple Pay made up the lion's share of their NFC payments.

One thing to keep in mind is that NFC is in its infancy in terms of adoption, since neither V/MC did much to promote their NFC cards and Google didn't do much to promote Google Wallet either. Apple essentially kick-started the interest, and it will take time to mature.

But even this wouldn't be so bad:

Speaking about an analyst's predictions: "For fiscal 2015, he’s cutting sales to 10.5 million unit sales from 11 million."

10 million sold in 9 months of 2015 would outsell ALL smartwatch sales (6.8m) in 2014:
