Primarily use Apple Pay on my Watch
99% of the time use my phone rather than watch. Primarily because it’s it my hand already - I use my local grocery store’s app for a shopping list. Now if Apple notes came to the watch I wouldn’t need my phone in my hand for my shopping list at some stores like Costco. I thought I would use my watch more to scan into the gym, but the app I use to track my workouts is phone only so I can’t leave my phone at home or in the car. More on reddit.com

Do you use Apple Pay on your Apple Watch?

There are two things you want to enable:

  1. Unlock with iPhone

  2. Wrist Detection

This will lock your watch when you take it off. Once you put it on and unlock your phone, then your Watch is unlocked also. Your watch will stay unlocked until you take your watch off again. You can freely use ApplePay on your watch without having to worry about putting in a passcode.

Using Apple Pay
Dude at the local gas station always gives me a strange look when I pull my watch up to get gas. Love the fact that when I run, if I need to pop into a store and get a drink, I can do it with out busting out a card or money (like I used to back in the day.) More on reddit.com

Do I have to double tap the side button for Apple Pay or will it automatically pull up wallet near NFC reader like the iPhone?
Both. Holding your watch near a device that expecting payment will pull up your wallet to your default card automatically but you will always have to confirm you want to pay with the selected card. More on reddit.com

How do I use Apple Pay?
You can use Apple Pay to make purchases in stores, on websites and in apps. It’s widely accepted, simple, safe, secure and private.

How secure is Apple Pay?
Apple Pay is safer than using a physical credit, debit or prepaid card. Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode are required for purchases on your iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac or iPad. Your card number and identity aren’t shared with merchants, and your actual card numbers aren’t stored on your device or on Apple servers.
When you pay in stores, neither Apple nor your device will send your actual card number to merchants. When you pay online in Safari or in apps, the merchant will only receive information you authorize to fulfil your order — such as your name, email address, and billing and shipping addresses.
When you pay with a debit or credit card, Apple doesn’t keep transaction information that can be tied back to you.

r/AppleWatch on Reddit: Primarily use Apple Pay on my Watch
March 7, 2025 -

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!
