Summary
Google Wallet has rolled out Express Pay for Pixel Watch, letting users make contactless payments without opening the Wallet app as long as the watch is already unlocked.
The feature is enabled in the Pixel Watch app under Google Wallet, where users choose a default card and turn on both Express Pay and Tap to pay and transit.
Google also highlighted faster payment setup more broadly: users can set Wallet as the default app, keep NFC on, and use lock-screen or power-button shortcuts on supported Android phones.
The convenience trade-off is security—removing steps speeds checkout, but also makes it more important to keep the phone or watch secure and monitor surroundings.
