Canada has an unusually high limit at C$250. I think the Euro zone is €50, and the UK is £100. The US doesn't have a statutory limit, so it's up to the card issuer.
What is this "watch" thing you speak of?
I have a velvet-lined box full of timepieces that go on a wrist, but I haven't worn one for the last 20 or so years.
Are you talking about a credit card or debit card? I have never had to enter a PIN for a credit card transaction. I’m not even sure what the PINs are for our cards.
I love contact-less. I only have one card that supports it. Problem is, I'm only seeing it (for credit cards) on gas pumps. Most of the places I frequent (Big Box Home Stores) still require me to insert the card. After using contact-less, I find it annoying.
I don't have a phone that does NFC so no phone support for me yet.
The orange big box store recently revamped their entire POS system. I don’t mind self check but in addition to not supporting NFC you now have to use a handheld scanner instead of holding your item near a stationary scanner. More contact than before…. a giant step backwards.
Gosh, I was GLAD to have the change to handheld scanners. I have taken sheets of plywood and drywall through the self-checkout lane, and it was not all that easy....

But before (at least at my Big Orange), you had a choice of the stationary or hand held. Now it all has to be hand held.
And the "new" terminals don't have contactless. Why?
Non-Pro tip: I usually just go through the "Pro" line anyway and get served by a cashier. I've never been asked for credentials.
Admittedly I haven't been to HD recently but I've never encountered that. Hand held is great for big/heavy items but stationary is just fine for small items, though hand held works great there too. If they're only going to have one for some reason, hand held would definitely be the preference.But before (at least at my Big Orange), you had a choice of the stationary or hand held.

Do you mean at Home Depot? You can't go through self checkout with something big like drywall or plywood? How strange. I've never seen a store where self checkout couldn't accommodate everything.As for large items in self check there no room for sheets of drywall in our locations.
