Samsung Pay PIN not working for Galaxy Watch

[WillD81]

Hi,

I just pulled my old original galaxy watch out of the cabinet to start using it again. I reset the watch and connected it to my current phone. I've reset Samsung pay 3 times now. The pin I'm using for Samsung pay is not working on the watch. I just did the last one before it resets on me AGAIN and have to call my banks again to activate my cards. This is very annoying! Can someone please help???

When you setup up your watch and Samsung pay on your watch it will ask you to add a pin or pattern on your watch screen so I don't understand how it is not working? It can be different to the one on your phone and Independent from your phone. So did you do this?

I'm currently using a Galaxy S20FE. I set up both Samsung Wallet and Wearables. One of the two, I can't remember which one, asked if I wanted to use fingerprint or pin. I chose pin. The other did not ask for a pin at all during setup. I had to call my banks to add my cards to both, Wallet and Wearables individually.

I set them up on my phone, not the watch. I can't get into any Samsung pay anything on my watch without the pin.

That doesn't make sense, the one that asked for a fingerprint or pin is Samsung pay on your phone. You can't use Samsung pay on your watch unless you have setup a pattern or pin on the watch and it won't let you even setup it up on your watch. Have you checked if your watch has any software updates?

Hi,  did you ever resolve this issue? I am having the same problem and cannot enter my PIN when I pay and now will be forced to a factory reset if I can't resolve this issue.
