express transit pay on Apple Watch setting option not showing?

Gen 1 Apple Watch 42mm.


added iPhone to express transit no problem. Than went to add my generation 1 Apple Watch and there is no option for express transit in the Apple Pay and wallet watch settings of the watch app on iPhone. Hmm. Is the generation 1 watch capable of this express transit feature? Or is it possible that you can only add it to the iPhone or the watch separate? Thanks

>> Select Express Mode for a transit or payment card, pass, or key


When you add an eligible transit card or other compatible card, pass, or key to Apple Wallet, Express Mode is turned on by default. You can also change which card, pass, or key is set to Express Mode.


  • Multiple cards, passes, and keys with Express Mode can be active in the Wallet app at the same time. For example, you can have one student ID and one car key each set to Express Mode.
  • With some cards, passes, and keys, you can't have multiple of the same type or from the same issuer set to Express Mode. For example, you can only have one student ID from the same school set to Express Mode.
  • With some passes, you might be able to set multiple passes of that type to Express Mode.
  • For transit, you can set one transit card to Express Mode for each transit network. You can also set a payment card that can be used to pay your fare in locations where your Express Transit card isn't accepted. <<
