The watch can remain even under the shirt shelve or jacket.
To be honest, this is the first really useful function that the Apple Watch has offered me. No struggling to find wallet, card or phone. No concern that someone might see the PIN or even the card number.
This is exactly my experience. The watch is great with Apple Pay, much better than the phone, and preferred to any card I might be carrying in my wallet. My watch has a sapphire display as well, so no worries about scratching it either.
Fair enough to wonder what iPhone + Apple Pay bring to the table for TfL payments, I agree that it's a less than ideal offering but a "nice to have" if you need it in a pinch. That said, I definitely think Apple Watch + Apple Pay is a big step forward in safety and convenience.
