Timex’s new watch collection includes contactless payment straps

It’s called the Fairfield Contactless, and quite simply, it’s the watchmaker’s minimalist Fairfield Chronograph with a bPay chip tucked away inside the watch strap. It’s just the first in a bPay collection too, with more to follow. There are already a million ways to spend money without a note or coin to hand, but it’s definitely one of the more style-conscious bPay products thus far. And when the Fairfield Contactless goes on sale in early November for £159, owners of other compatible Timex watches can upgrade theirs on the cheap by buying one of the black or brown bPay straps on its lonesome.
