To pay with your Apple Watch SE, choose your desired card, place your watch near the scanner, and wait for confirmation.
While the provided reference is brief, here's a more comprehensive guide to using Apple Pay on your Apple Watch SE:
-
Double-Click the Side Button: Located on the right side of your Apple Watch, double-clicking the side button activates Apple Pay.
-
Select Your Card (if necessary): If you have multiple cards set up in Apple Pay, your default card will appear. If you want to use a different card, swipe to choose the desired one.
-
Hold Near the Reader: Position your Apple Watch display near the contactless payment reader. Make sure the reader is accepting payments.
-
Wait for Confirmation: You'll feel a gentle tap (haptic feedback) on your wrist and hear a beep, indicating the payment was successful. A checkmark will also appear on your watch face.
-
Enjoy! You've successfully made a payment with your Apple Watch SE.
Important Considerations:
- Adding Cards: You must first add your credit, debit, or prepaid cards to the Wallet app on your iPhone. These cards will then be available to use on your Apple Watch.
- Apple Pay Availability: Apple Pay is not available in all regions or with all merchants. Look for the contactless payment symbol (similar to a sideways Wi-Fi symbol) at checkout.
- Troubleshooting: If your payment doesn't go through, ensure your watch is properly positioned near the reader, your card is valid, and the merchant accepts Apple Pay. Also, confirm you're connected to Wi-Fi or cellular if required for the transaction type.
