Ah. Understood. Don't get me wrong. I bought a Pebble for $80 because it largely obviated my need to take out my phone in order to interact with notifications, but the cost of my phone plus watch is less than the most inexpensive tier of Apple Watch. When my phone is charging and I'm upstairs, nice to be able to glance down and see who's calling, messaging, emailing, etc.
The only problem? I hate wearing a watch. Yes, I'm a dolt.

Even so, getting my wallet out and then dropping it on the ground doesn't cost me hundreds of dollars in repair costs because I just had to purchase $2.00 overpriced candy bar.
If this is a concern every time you make a purchase, you have bigger problems than deciding which pay system to use.
You should check out how many phones are broken every year because of owners dropping their phones. If I had to take my phone out of my pocket every time I needed to pay for something, it would likely increase the likelihood of the phone dropping. Especially at the pump during the winter months. One night I dropped my credit card like three times because I couldn't feel my fingers (and my gloves made it too cumbersome to operate the stupid swipe). If I had to take my phone out of my pocket, yeah, sad to say, it would have been toast, broken on the curb of the gas pump.
