Is there a trick to Apple Pay? I can never get it to work stores.

Hi Joel

When paying with Apple Watch, after double-clicking the side button and, where appropriate, choosing from your available cards:

- Turn your wrist so that the face of your watch is pointing towards and parallel with the screen of the contactless reader;

- Hold it within a few centimetersof the center of the reader's screen (certainly closer than 10cm and potentially nearer to touching, depending on the reader);

- Keep your watch there for a few seconds, until you feel a pulse from the watch and, if noise levels allow, hear the accompanying tone.

It shouldn't be that difficult. You only need to hold the Watch a few inches from the NFC device reader. I suspect a hardware problem exists.

Certainly hold it there for a few seconds.

Also be mindful that any metal objects (eg staplers) that have been placed close to a reader can potentially cause interference and affect connections with contactless devices.

Sounds like hardware to me as well. I have been surprised at how well the Watch signal is picked up. Much better than my phone.

There is no trick to it, no special technique, no contact (ick!). Double-click the button, hold it near the reader, and you're done. All of that, start to finish, literally takes a second and a half.
