Google Pay will alert you and tell you how to do that if it isn’t on. With Google Pay added to your Galaxy Watch 4, you can easily make contactless payments the same way you would with Samsung Pay, though the next time you add a card to your Android phone and Galaxy Watch, you won’t go through nearly as many steps.
Will Google Pay be available on the Galaxy Watch 4?
While Wear OS 3 will be exclusive to the Galaxy Watch 4 for a while, the new Google Pay app will not. Google notes in the Wear OS by Google Help Community that it’s updating the Google Pay app on Wear OS 2.
Samsung doesn’t block Google pay, Google however prefers not to support the Galaxy Watch because they see the Galaxy Watch as their competition. I’m not aware of third party solutions, but considering googles position in this I’m pretty sure that there isn’t a first party one ^^’. View solution in context.
Samsung Pay is not Google Pay. I am looking at the new Samsung watch but unless I can use Google Pay, I will give it a miss. My bank can work with Google pay but not Samsung Pay.
What are Samsung Pay and Google Pay?
Samsung Pay and Google Pay are both digital wallets, which enable easy mobile payments online, in apps and in stores. When you’re out and about you can use your mobile phone to pay for goods and services by simply tapping it against the merchant’s payment terminal as you would a contactless card – simple.
Here is what I found. whilst Samsung Pay does have the combined MST and NFC technology, that’s not to say it is “ better” than Google’s alternative. We’ve seen two things – its geographical availability, and being limited to Samsung phones – that may be considered drawbacks.
The proliferation of NFC technology means you’ll get plenty of use out of Google Pay, and Samsung has dropped the MST tech from its latest phones. The Google Pay app is also more enjoyable to use, even after the recent redesign. Even if you do have a Samsung phone, Samsung Pay might not be worth your time.
How do I use Google Pay on my smartwatch?
On your watch, open the Google Pay app and select a card. If asked, choose Credit, regardless of your type of card. For debit card transactions, you may have to enter a PIN. Hold your watch over the contactless payment terminal until you hear a sound or feel vibration from your watch.
Should you use Google Pay or Apple Pay on your phone?
For Apple users, your only choice in the real world is Apple Pay, while Android users must use Google Pay. Samsung owners can choose between Samsung Pay or Google Pay — you can have both on your phone, but you will need to set one as the default and change that setting if you want to use the other.
