It has been found that NFC payment is available on the domestic device on the smart watch "Galaxy Watch 4" on sale by Galaxy Mobile JAPAN.However, there are some walls.
NFC payments have been disabled because the successive Galaxy Watch, which was released in Japan, does not deploy Samsung Pay in Japan, despite supporting NFC payments.
From the Galaxy Watch 4, the introduction of the Google Pay application itself is possible by changing the OS of the main unit to Wear OS.However, at present, a Google Pay application for Wear OS is not developed in Japan, and it is possible to install it, but the service itself cannot be used.This is the same situation not only for Galaxy Watch 4, but also for all Wear OS -equipped smartwatches.
According to the information on Twitter, if you register a credit card corresponding to contactless payments on the Google Pay app on a smartphone, specify it as a main card, then install a Google Pay app on Galaxy Watch 4, and NFC 4 in Galaxy Watch 4.It is said that payment has been made.In addition, it is temporary, and it seems that it will not be available again after a few hours, and in that case, it is necessary to reinstall it again.
It is likely that Google Pay for Wear OS will be officially deployed in Japan in Japan.
In addition, Galaxy Watch 4 does not support NFC Type F, so FeliCa payments such as Suica, Edy, and ID are not used even if they are hand -standed.
"Wena 3" that supports non -contact payments
Non -contact payments with smart watches in Japan are in the strongest state of Apple Watch, which also supports FeliCa.Due to the effects of the new colon virus infection, the number of users who want to avoid cash exchange has increased, and the number of credit cards that support non -contact payments has increased.Even at merchants, non -contact payments are accelerating.
Based on them, non -contact payments are a great benefit for users, which are also a good selling complaint for manufacturers.I would like to expect a quick official development in Japan.
