The Bluetooth range is probably <10m - much less with walls in the way. It doesn't do RF I'm afraid.

I'm sure, looking at the security this technology uses (dynamic card verification etc) that's some years off though.Seen people create similar watches with an Oyster chip in them... now that is useful, especially when layered up for winter!!Actually, come to think of it... couldn't I just cut out the RFID chip (or remove it by soaking/melting the card in acetate) and put it in a braclet or watch myself? It'd be cheaper than 99 Euros!! And I get to keep my current watch! :-) Great idea… but as someone that removes the silver from the numbers on their visa card to make it harder for people to ‘shoulder surf’ me, I’d be a little worried about geeks with RFID readers cloning my details while stood next to me on the train.
