Can’t help you with the keys or ID (yet), but I exclusively use the stored cards on my Apple Watch for payment. It is so reliable (in Norway) that I haven’t brought my wallet on normal days in 2+ years.

Even on vacation in Northern Europe (Belgium, Netherlands, France, Germany) and on a business trip to the US (California+Texas) this year, I very rarely had to use the physical cards. NFC just works. Everywhere.

I still bring the cards on important occasions or when going further than a normal drive, though - a testament to the fact that the day you’re longing for is not _quite_ here yet.

NFC adoption has been improving in the US but still far too many big retailers that still won’t accept it, even when they have the equipment.

Or they accept it in theory, but it's not working for some reason. It's so silly.
