Isn't there a cap you can "tap" using the watch? I haven't spotted anywhere where one can use Garmin Pay other than 1 local Seattle Coffee. 

Once linked to your card, you can use it to tap anywhere where you can tap with your card. I haven't run into any issues yet.

The only 2 or 3 times I could not use it, where at places where I could not tap my bank card .... the last few spots where a card has to be inserted into a machine .... 

 

GarminPay learns your habbits.  First tap at a shop you will need to enter your card pin.  Next time at that shop you most likely wont enter your pin, except for larger amounts.

 

I have done purchases of a few thousand rand with it.

 

 

BEST part of it .... I have not used cash at any trail head in the last 18 months.  ALL of them accommodate the tap function, and thus GarminPay.

 

 

 

With GarminPay you assign a 4-digit pin to your watch.  You can enter this pin at the till, or even safer in the car or at home.  That pin-entry stays active for 24 hours, or until you remove the watch.

 

As for card skimming or double tapping .... you go through two-clicks on the watch to active GarminPay at the paypoint.  Once tapped the watch exits the pay function and it is NOT possible for a double-tap.

The Garmin 130 has waaaay more features and has customizable fields..and can follow a basic trail...

The ROX is just a simple cycle computer...

That's nonsense. The Rox is way more than a simple cycle computer.

sorry my bad..was looking at a different ROX model

The Rox 11.0 has been replaced by the RoX 11.1evo which is a far more capable gps bike computer than the 11.0

hooefully the distributor focussed on these again since the stages units are no more
