: A Google spokesperson has responded with the below statement regarding this issue, adding that this isn't related to the recently introduced changes requiring Wallet users onto authenticate their device before making a payment from Google Wallet. Furthermore, the company stated that providing Wallet users a convenient and hassle-free approach to tap-and-pay payments is a priority.
Google has recently begun to require device unlocks for individual tap-to-pay transactions, a behavior that had been previously observed on smartphones. However, on Wear OS smartwatches this had been traditionally bypassed as long as your watch was already unlocked. When this changed and Wallet users using their watches began to be prompted for pin verification, they were reasonably surprised.
Unsurprisingly, Wear OS users aren't exactly thrilled about the prospect of having to enter a PIN every time they want to pay for something with their watches. The convenience of contactless payments is a major selling point for wearable devices, and adding an extra step to the process could negatively impact the user experience.
