If you turn off wrist detection you should not use apple pay with your watch, that's the bottom line. Stick to your iPhone.

Apple Watch dangerous bug

but in the beginning when I wanted to use my credit cards it asked for a password as you will see in the video above
i suppose watchOS 6 should either lockout apple pay if wrist detection is turned off or require the password like you see in watchos 7 when wrist detection is off. i believe right now only the apple watch series 1 and 2 are limited to watchos 6 so any bug correction would only be applicable to them, for apple watchos 7 is the "bug correction" and is free and available now for series 3 and newer.
watch os 6 also wants this code in every transaction. the video I show a little above has watch os 6 but after a bug it does not ask for a password. I will upload a video and show you how to become the bug. sorry my english is not so good.
