Apple Watch: Card unavailable, try again in a few moments.

I found no help from forums, or asking others.. eventually got an answer via my bank.. card provider.. must ensure you remove card from both phone & watch.. to solve the confusion, before reading the card again..

Yes! Got an update today which solve the glitch in the software issue an it is a software issue. I’m on build 4.3 (15T212)

Im on beta too. Update didn’t work but I erased and repaired my watch and it solved the issue.

Hi.. very easy fix.. it was the same for me..

I found you need to remove the card.. and re-install..

BUT.. it needs to be done in two places..

Both in the Apple Pay (Wallet) section of you Phone.. and also in the Apple Watch Settings on your Phone..

Then when you reinstall the Card to your Wallet.. it will reload into both automatically..

If you have done it in only one place, you will cause the confusion that the card won’t recognize and cause this message or fault as protection..

Works simply easy fix.

Was just checking because when I first posted to this thread I was on a different software, but after updating to the software we both running now my problem went away. I know how annowinng this is I didn’t think it would be a big deal until it was, so I hope you find a solution soon.

I updated to 11.3 that came out last week both phone and watch.

I had already erased and repaired my watch twice So when the update came through it just worked

This problem on occurred after updating my watch to 4.3, All worked fine again after deleting and re-adding the card.

I couldn't live without apple pay on my watch

I’ve upgraded to an Apple Watch 3 and am having the same issue on the new watch. Very frustrating.

Since I’m getting technical support I cant use beta software as a fix. Anyone who is still having problems have you tried contacting Apple support?

It’s been well over a month with no resolution. Apple says it’s something on the server side they have to fix but will give me no timeframe for resolutions.

I’m having the same problems idk why, I’ve call the bank to make sure it wasn’t the virtual card in my wallet and I reset my Watch from the back up as well as a fresh start nothing works I’m at Odds because I use my watch relatively a lot for Apple Pay please help

Have you found a solution yet?

Not yet. Working with a ”support specialist” but he is waiting for a higher up to look at it.

I updated and no change..... hopefully I get an answer soon
