Android Pay had not yet arrived in Spain, and it seems that when it does arrive, it will do so with thecomplete package, and payments via smartwatch available. The requirements for its download will obviously be to have updated Android Wear to version 2.0 and have NFC connection The next LG Watch will already have this serial connection, and other devices such as Sony Smartwatch 3 already included.
By viewing these images, posted by ben USA herself, we briefly see how the tool would work. On the one hand we are shown the schoice and acceptance of card, and then a purchase history. Everything could be done from the watch itself, simply with touching the screen to select the payment method, and by moving the watch closer to the NFC scanner of the merchant to make the payment itself.fingerprint identification will not be required in these cases.
