Recently, however, Google has upped the ante by introducing Google Pay capabilities on Wear OS smartwatches as well. The new generation of Wear OS smartwatches feature hardware that allows for wireless payments on smartwatches and this will obviously make things easier as it will now release the dependency on your smartphone even, to make payments.
Right now, Google Pay on Android Wear is currently supported in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, UK, and the US, but it is obvious that it will soon make its way to other nations as well.
