Samsung Galaxy Watch: How to Pay via Google Pay

With the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 smart watch and the Wear OS operating system, we saw the possibility of paying with a watch from a South Korean manufacturer. This option is provided by Google Pay. In this article, we will talk about how to set up your watch payment and use it comfortably.

Contactless card payment is nice, but paying with a smartphone is smarter. However, a more perfect solution is payment by watch. No one has a problem with pulling out a smartphone in the store before paying, but we always have a watch on hand, so why not use it in this way. The procedure was issued by the American giant Google itself and applies to the mentioned Wear OS system.

So how do you set up contactless watch payments with Google Pay?

The first step is to install and open the Google Pay app on your watch. Click on the “Start” or “Get started” button to continue. Set your screen lock. This is an important security feature to help prevent intrusion.

You should then see more detailed instructions on your phone to show you how to add a credit card to your watch. The card will only be added to your Samsung Galaxy Watch4, not to the smartphone itself. The card will then also appear in the Google Pay app on a Wear OS watch.

Turn on Google Pay to pay by card at the store. On the Samsung Galaxy Watch4, we managed to open it by pressing the top button twice. Now all you have to do is attach the watch to the terminal.

Vibration or sound from the watch will indicate that the payment was successful. It may sometimes be necessary to enter your PIN code from the card, but it depends on the set limit of contactless payments in your bank. In the discussion below the article, let us know if watch payments work and if you like to use them regularly.
