When I am shopping in stores, I almost always use my Watch to pay at checkout. It’s become a natural reflex for me for payments now. Anyone else do this too? I thought I’d bring up the discussion because I feel like I rarely see others using their Watches to pay. I’ll even get comments occasionally from cashiers that will say something like - “I didn’t know you could use the Watch!”

If you primarily use your iPhone to pay in stores, let me know why. I’m genuinely curious to hear the benefits over the Watch!

Since getting my Apple Watch Series 10 last month I’ve found using Apple Pay set up on it so much easier and simpler than having to get my iPhone from my pocket or getting my credit/debit card from my wallet.

Anyone else find the benefit of Apple Pay on the Watch?

Often when I pay via my Apple Watch, the person behind the counter will be delighted to see it, telling how cool that is. About half the time, I point and say, “The Apple Watch you’re wearing will do this too!”

I am surprised at how many people don’t set up and use Apple Pay on the Watch. It’s very simple and much easier than digging out one’s iPhone or wallet.
