Make contactless payments with Google Wallet

Make contactless payments with Google Wallet

Your Wear OS watch most likely has NFC, which you can use to pay at stores that accept Google Wallet. The setup is about the same on all Wear OS watches, but if you're using a watch that didn't come with Google Wallet preinstalled, install it from the Play Store. You can do that from the watch or the Play Store on your phone.

Before using Google Wallet, set a screen lock on your watch. Wear OS typically asks for your PIN or pattern the first time you interact with your watch after putting it on or restarting it. If you take your watch off, you'll need to unlock it again to use Pay.

To add a card to your watch, open the app, then tap the plus (+) icon. You're prompted to continue on your phone, which walks you through the steps.

When you're ready to make a purchase, open the Google Wallet app on your watch (on most watches, you can assign Google Wallet to a hardware button using the steps described in the previous section) and hold it near the payment terminal. Your payment is charged to the card you selected when you tap.
