Timex's 'Fairfield Contactless' Combine Technology with Design
Ellen Smith — November 15, 2017 — Fashion
The only thing that trumps the convenience of a modern smartwatch is the elegance and style of more traditional time pieces, which is why Timex has introduced the Fairfield Contactless, which combines modern technology with traditional elegance.
The watch uses a technology called bPay Loop, a small payment strip that's hidden inside of the leather wristband, making for a completely seamless look. Because of the payment strip, the Fairfield Contactless watches are capable of tap-to-pay technology, meaning wearers can make payments by simply taping their wrist.
Although Timex is not the first company to produce tap-to-pay watches, the elegant and traditional designs of the products, make for a unique watch that's sure to appeal to the style-conscious.
