Cards do not sync between devices for security and privacy purposes. Please follow this path,


iPhone > Watch > My Watch (tabs at bottom of app) > scroll down > Wallet & Apple Pay > Add Card > follow onscreen prompts.


If you’re also adding cards to Apple Wallet on iPhone and the card is eligible to be added to Apple Watch, you may be prompted on screen to also add the card to your Watch.
