Do I still need to setup a watch level pin lock to use Google pay in wearos 4?

I need Google pay as a backup option and unlock my watch every day or even twice a day is too high price for this.

    Yes, just like on a phone you need screen lock (password, PIN or pattern) in order to use it.

    There will always be such requirement on Android, since from what I remember screen lock’s pass/PIN/pattern is somehow used in the process of getting encryption key that decrypts and encrypts data such as Google Pay payment data.

      Interesting. Did not think about the issue from this side. Thank you!
