MuchBetter and Winwatch launch analogue watch with 'payment glass'

The watch, a world-first, uses STISS payments glass, a super-strong sapphire glass that has an EMV chip and antenna sealed within.

Jens Bader, co-founder, MuchBetter, says: "People are loathed to give up their expertly crafted analogue watch in exchange for a smartwatch that may be obsolete in just a few years.

"That’s why there’s such a big gap in the market for people who see the benefit of some adding some smart features like payments to their beloved analogue watch - especially now while contactless payments are not just highly convenient, but fundamental for public health."
