I live in a small town, however, Apple Pay is beginning to emerge finally! What that means is that I had to learn how to pay with my Apple watch. I thought that since my watch mirrors my iPhone - that the credit cards would appear, but that was not so. I had to select Apple Watch Wallet & Apple Pay on my iPhone and add each credit card. I also had to enter the security code for each card when adding it. To use the watch to pay, all you have to do is double-click the side button of the watch and then select the card you want to use. Just like Wallet on the phone, you tap or swipe the card. At any rate, I am ready to use the Apple Watch to pay the next time there is an opportunity.

Apple Pay - Update
Apple Pay is now available for those who have the latest iPhones and iPads. You need to do the latest system update to access the feature. Once the update is installed, click on Settings to enter credit card information. Entering the credit card info is extremely easy - just click the camera icon in the credit card set-up window and hold the camera over the card. The information is automatically recognized. If for some reason, it isn't, you can enter the info manually. Once you are done, the app validates the card information and you probably will receive verification from that credit card company. It took me only a couple of minutes to set up my Apple Pay credit card accounts.
Apple Pay is more secure than using your credit card because it uses NFC (near field communication). Every time you pay, it generates a unique code that cannot be used again. That is in contrast to using your credit card where you have that little extra 3 or 4 digit code in addition to the credit card number.
