Forgot phone, still use Watch?

[bassjunky]

Hypothetically, if I were to forget my iPhone at home and went to the gas station down the street, would Apple Pay still work? I'm just curious what functionality a non-celluar AW has when the phone is not nearby or on the same Wifi network.

TIA!

Yes, for the same reason your credit card/debit card works contactless with no cellular connection

Delete. I missed the wallet symbol. Was looking for Apple Pay symbol.
