Apple Pay issues on watch

[OrlandoTragic]

Hi all,

I am simply trying to add my existing Apple Pay card to my Apple Watch. The card is added to my phone no problem, but when I try to add the card to my wallet, although it acts like it added, it is stuck on "Activating" within the Wallet & Apple Pay settings on the Watch app.

When I double tap the button on the watch, the card shows up, but it says "Card Unavailable".

I've completely removed the card from Apple Pay, re-added, restarted both my phone and watch, and am still having the same issue. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Sounds like it is your bank. You may need to contact them or wait until its is working.

Do you have a pass code setup on your watch? If not, add one and try again to add the card. A pass code is required.
