For the life of me I can't get this to work. I guess I am not able to double tap it fast enough. Is it easy for you to initiate? I feel like I am clicking it fast and all I end up doing is opening Favorites and the watch switches back to the clock and then back to Favorites.
Got a tip for us?

Double Click for Pay

Mine seems to be working and I'm not clicking very fast. It is easy to open it for me.
I added a card and it shows in Passbook and in the iPhone Apple Watch app. I am not at a store, just trying to test, but if I double click the side button, my card should appear. Tomorrow I'll ask someone else to double click it and see if it's me or a problem with the button.
BTW I am very happy with the watch. I have the original Pebble and the Steel, so I have prior experiences with smart watches.

I don't have ALS but another disability. I can't double click fast enough either. It's pretty upsetting. I tried opening the card in the Passbook app hoping that would work but it still tells me to double click.
Thing is.. I am hitting the button what I would consider as reasonably quickly. Very frustrating.
Try going to the top - Tim Cook claims to read all his emails, though he gets hundreds per day. And he occasionally responds, and sometimes will even call someone.

I did send an email already. Please send one too.
I'm sure they can add an accessibility option to allow for a slower double click. They do have one for the home button on iPhone/iPad.
I just sent one to Tim Cook's address.
I've never needed to change the click rate on my iPhone/iPad, but it just occurred to me that I operate those with my "good" hand. I am weaker on my right ride and wear the watch on my left but use my iPhone/iPad with my left hand. I'm not having any problems with any other watch features, are you?
Just an idea until an update is out regarding this issue... Have you tried setting the watch up for the other arm and wearing it that way?
Thanks for the suggestion, but for me, the other arm isn't a good option. I've always worn my watch on my left arm and Apple Pay is the only feature I can't use. I'll just wait it out. Was a bummer to not be able to use it for grabbing toothpaste and floss today. Could have been out of the store so much more quickly.
No, the only feature I am unable to use is Pay. I am very happy with the watch. I also have a Kickstarter Pebble and a Pebble Steel. I can't see myself ever using either of them again.
I have the Milanese loop and I am very pleased how it stays in place on my wrist. I wanted the link bracelet but I didn't know if it would stay snug. My Pebble Steel always would drop down from my wrist and I would end up activating the side buttons when I bent my hand up. And I was frequently having to slide it up my arm a little.
A little stupid but I couldn't get it to work for the life of me, until I realized you have to double click the actual button (not crown) and not the screen
