Which watch can already make these payments?
The new smart watch Samsung Galaxy Watch4 with the official entry into the domestic market took care of one very important thing. Thanks to the cooperation with Google and the fact that the watch of this brand now runs the Wear OS system, the Czech Republic has finally managed to achieve opportunities pay from your wrist via Google Pay. Enthusiasts of wearable electronics and this form of transaction logically began to immediately ask which other watches will get this option. We already know that Galaxy Watch4 are officially the first, but definitely not the only ones.
What is Google Pay?
Google Pay (formerly Pay with Google and Android Pay) is a mobile wallet and electronic payment system from Google that allows you to pay using Android mobile phones and tablets (or smart watches with Wear OS) using contactless NFC. (Wikipedia)
Unofficial information suggests that Google Pay Gateway should work backwards over time in watches with Wear OS version 2.15 and higher. This would, of course, apply to a relatively large number of devices.
And the first large company to confirm the function has already spoken. Her (Mobvoi) Ticwatch, in whose models C2 / C2 +, E3, Pro / Pro 2020 / Pro 4G / Pro 3 GPS (ie all except E2 and S2) the mentioned payment should already work.
What is Wear OS?
Wear OS, known as Android Wear until March 2018,[1] is a version of the Android operating system that is designed for wearable smart devices (wearables), specifically for smart watches. (Wikipedia)
We expect that more smart watches with a sufficiently new system and NFC module will be added to the list. In this case, we will add an article. After several long months, when the connection between Wear OS and Google Pay did not officially work in our country and relied on unofficial experimental procedures, it is super progress. Some people take it more as an incomprehensibly long delayed movement, but it’s still good news.
