So it's just another layer? I can see how it would be handy if you can 
use your watch.  Is such a smartwatch usable all by itself, or does it 
have to be in contact with your phone?

Exactly the opposite.  I walk to the gym and can just put the card in my 
velcro-flap pocket without worrying about it falling out or me falling 
on it and breaking it -- just in case I want to stop at Trader Joe's or 
the supermarket on my way home.  I only carry my phone when I think I 
might need it or want to use the camera.

The fingerprint reader at the gym I used before The Plague ALWAYS failed 
and required assistance from the attendant. I refuse to use the reader 
on my phone, which is probably even less reliable.

That's why we have groups :-)

   civil is entirely sufficient.
