I don’t care how much my kids calls me an old fart, I don’t think I will ever attach a payment method to a watch.

This is the smallest bill I have, please break it for me.

I refuse to even let my phone have my payment info.

Yeah, it's crazy. Phones are just about the least secure payment platform imaginable (in the sense of regular criminal hackers, other people having physical access to the device and corporate spies), and banking apps are cementing the vendor lock-in.

How is having physical access to their phone different from having their wallet with credit cards and id?

In your scenario either way, the thief has it. My wallet doesn’t have any facial recognition or passcode option, or native GPS tracker if it’s stolen.

And in both cases you can block this shit as soon as you get access to internet or bank. So wtf.
