Adhere to these instructions:
- Launch the Watch application on your iPhone.
- Click “Wallet & Apple Pay.”
- If you have added a minimum of one card on another device, click it here and type in the card’s security codes. Or, adhere to the next instructions to enter a new card.
- Click “Add Card.”
- You can either scan the card or type in its digits manually. Both options will require the security codes, though.
