The Offica watch has a non-contact chip that enables the wearer to pay for merchandise and services by simply passing the watch over a reader at a cash register. The Watch can also be used for access control to buildings and rooms.

The chip uses the same format as Sony FeliCa non-contact smart card technology. JCB will begin field testing the Wristwatch in their headquaters.
