Apple pay not working on Apple watch

Hello,

I have a problem with my apple pay on apple watch. Basically, when I’m trying to add card on watch, it says “couldn’t set up apple pay. error occurred while setting up apple pay”

PS: Apple Pay works on iPhone just fine.

Do you have any idea why this happens or what’s the solution?


Thank you in advance.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7
