Apple Wallet not syncing credit cards to Apple Watch

I recently got a new iphone (12 Pro), and I was able to sync it to my old Apple Watch (Series 5), but my Wallet app is not working properly. My credit and debit card were properly added to the Watch app on my phone and are showing as activated. However, they are not available or even showing up within the Wallet app on my watch. Is there a step I missed when syncing the new phone?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 7

Hey ELL0YD,


We're glad you thought to ask Apple Support Communities about the issue you're having with your credit cards not appearing on your Apple Watch after upgrading to a new iPhone. We can help!

You may need to add the card to the Watch app. To do this, open the Watch app, then choose My Watch > Wallet & Apple Pay. From here, do you see the cards listed under "Payment Cards On Your Watch", and do the other settings appear correct? Are you able to choose "Add Card" to see a list of available cards or add one: How to use Wallet on your iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple Watch


Keep us posted!


Take care.
