Q: Iwatch Apple pay
iI've tried using Apple Pay on my iwatch yet the card reader doesn't seem to recognise my watch although my phone works.
IS there a way to test the nfc on my watch as only 2 out of three payments have worked so far all at morrisons.
Apple Watch, watchOS 2.1

Hi
Whilst I appreciate that you have made payments successfully before, it is possible that your watch was not presented correctly to the terminal on the other occasion. If your payment details cannot be read by the terminal, it will result in a card not available error message.
To use Apple Pay on your watch, quickly double-press the side button. Your default card will be displayed. If you have added other cards and wish to use one of them instead, swipe to switch between cards.
With your preferred card displayed, hold your watch up to the terminal:
- The watch face should be facing and parallel with the terminal's own screen (you should not be able to see the watch face whilst paying), aligned centrally with the contactless logo on the terminal screen and held closer than 10cm.
- It should be held in that position for up to a few seconds, until you hear the confirmation beep and haptic pulse.
