I don't have an Apple Watch but I could definitely see using it for payments if I did. As it is, it's at least as easy and fast for me to pull out a credit card as it is my phone so I haven't seen a reason to pay with my phone.

Unfortunately it has the glitches that everything on the Apple Watch has. Double-press to pay... oh, wait, "Updating card information". Ok, I'll get the card out. Or you try it on the Tube and the barriers just flash "no go" at you, for some unexplained reason. Roll on watchOS 3.

Before I started using the watch I only used Apple Pay for novelty.
To be fair since I've gotten my watch Apple Pay is in WAY more places so I can use it on a regular basis.
I think Apple Pay would still win over the card for privacy (I'm REALLY tired of getting cards stolen) and speed over the current chip system.
As for Apple Pay, it becomes A LOT more compelling if you have an Apple Watch. All of a sudden instead of having to pull your phone out of your pocket you Press the button on the watch, move your wrist in front of the reader, and it's done.
