Google Pay keeps disabling itself on my smartwatch (Ticwatch Pro) 1 Recommended Answer 32 Replies 94 Upvotes
I noticed that Google Pay had disabled it on the smartwatch, and while I tried to pay with it, the payment failed. I had to re-enable it in the Google Play store.
However, it disables itself again after a while and I researched that it is caused if it detects your location somewhere where Google Pay with Smartwatch is not officially supported (but where it should work however with special banks).

Google Pay on Wear OS supports a very limited number of countries. You'll only be able to use it in these countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, UK, or US.

Hi,
I’m continuing experiencing this with my Tag Heuer Connected 41 running Wear OS 2.2. The PayEnabler ‘fix’ doesn’t fix anything as when it trys to connect to Play Store it fails to there being no wi-fi available when I’m stood in a random shop trying to pay! This is pretty shocking to say the least and a sad indictment for Google when I have to refer back to my iPhone for Apple Pay to pay my bill.
I’m based in UK (which is supported according to Google along with the US) where are you based?

I'm based in Finland. We have few banks with few cards that support Google Pay mobile payment and I can confirm that this is working (I have made physical payments in stores with my smartwatch using Google Pay).
However, the problem is not with the actual paying process; but with the app disabling itself when I have not used it for a while. Then every single time, when I'm going to pay something, In my smartwatch, I need to go to Play Store, search for "Google Pay", go to the app page, click "Enable" and then it comes back available.

I have the same issue on my TicWatch Pro.
I have have not found any pattern in when its being disabled, but just today i have enabled it 5 times and after a random amount of time it just gets disabled. Its annoying as really like the idea to just double a button on my watch to start google pay but when it keeps disabling it i can not use the feature and needs to go to google play and enabling it all the time.
