There’s only Google Pay app for the watch, but not Apple Pay app!

Do you know how to use the TH Connected with Apple Pay? Because I think it’s not possible

 

Then I confirm you that it’s not possible. I've looked it up, and my information was correct: the TH Connected (Gen2 and Gen3) only work with Google Pay

 

There’s no Google Pay app for the iPhone. Anyway I could use Google Pay with the TH Connected through the Google Pay app which is factory installed in the watch... but there’s no way to use Apple Pay with the TH Connected, which was what we were talking about

And since I already use Apple Pay with the iPhone, and I always carry it with me, then I did not find it necessary to configure Google Pay on the watch, and that's why I always have the watch NFC deactivated, which also saves battery

 

Yes, but as @oroloi said, I also don't want to have to enter a password on the watch

I would find it really useful if the watch had LTE and so you could leave the phone at home on certain occasions, but since Gen2 and Gen3 do not have LTE (maybe it comes with Gen4?), I prefer to use the iPhone to pay (specially since I was previously using Apple Pay) and save watch battery by disabling NFC

Surely there are also many articles saying otherwise. Also here it talks about smartphones, not smartwatches, and both have a very different battery size. Irrelevant consumption for a smartphone may already be more important for a smartwatch... but most importantly, and empirical: I noticed an improvement in the battery consumption of my watch when I deactivated NFC (since it was activated by default), so your article doesn't apply to my watch

 

LTE is not necessary for Google Pay, but it is necessary to leave the phone at home (if you want to continue being able to make and receive calls or messages)
So I said I would find it practical to pay with the watch if the watch had LTE, because that would allow you to leave the phone at home.

But since any TAG Heuer Connected do not have LTE, you usually have to carry the phone with you, and then you can already pay with the phone (Apple Pay in my case that I use iPhone)

 

I have also received it! This time it arrived at the same time
