Q: Why I cannot use apple pay with my apple watch+iphone 5s?
I see some tutorial online telling how to use iPhone 5s/5 and watch to do the apple pay. But I cannot setup the apple pay with my phone since I just have wallet but no apple pay word in the watch setting.
Anyone can tell me what is going on?
For example:

Even the apple technical support tell me iPhone 5s is not applicable to apple pay, how come the others are using with their iPhone 5s but me?
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3.4, with watchOS up to date

Hi
Apple Pay can be used with your watch, but not with your iPhone.
To use Apple Pay on iPhone requires iPhone SE, iPhone 6 and later. Earlier models do not contain the necessary hardware (NFC chip) for Apple Pay to work.
You can set up Apple Pay on your watch via the Watch app on your iPhone. To do this, follow the instructions in the support article linked below. (Note that this only adds cards to Apple Pay on your watch; it does not also add them to your iPhone).
