I hope it's just as quick. Apple Pay with Touch ID is super quick ... almost instant. I never had any issues with it. When I was on the Pixel 2 for a bit and using Android Pay, I just stood there looking like a jack ass for a good 10 seconds before Android Pay finally kicked in and worked.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone X: Using Apple Pay With Face ID

And more natural. All you have to do is present the device rather than make sure your thumb is on the sensor while you present it.
Just double click/press side button and hold near NFC terminal. Simple as that. I am using it daily, it's amazing.
Used APay at Trader Joe’s yesterday. Their machine wanted me to select “debit” or “credit” and enter my pin. Wth?
How is this a gimmick just because it’s new? FaceID works way better for me. I guess TouchID must have been a gimmick a few years ago when it was new tech.
The employees don't need to know how it works. For them it's like a regular credit card.
All you have to do is tell them you're paying by credit and it look for the wireless/NFC symbol and try it.
Frankly, I wonder why I still try Apple Pay considering all these issues. (I went on a huge Twitter rant about this recently so I won't re-post the exact reasons here.)
I feel like Apple Pay was introduced to the US maybe 5-10 years too soon. We likely should have finished rolling out EMV, only used the chip for a while and then tried to introduce contactless.
Then again, considering how many merchants absolutely hate cards altogether, I suspect nearly all of them would have purchased terminals without NFC hardware had Apple Pay not existed--resulting in some of the same issues that caused contactless to flop the first time around.
Trader Joe's (and way too many other US stores) are using an older contactless standard that basically makes the terminal go through the same workflow as swiping. I'd say it'll get better but I have doubts it'll be any time soon.

Yeah, good luck with that. A fair number of cashiers think Apple Pay and cards are different and won't activate the terminal for the former without enough of a discussion where inserting would have been faster.
me too. I use the watch for almost everything. will continue. Its much easier than the X.
Also, since I got the watch I rarely carry the X
You're missing the point. They don't need to know anything and it doesn't matter what they think. If they ask, "how are you paying?", you say, "credit card". That's it. End of discussion. Not that difficult.
I just wish AW3 cellular was supported by mobile operators in my country. That would be a dream. Step out of my home without wallet and phone. Just AW and Airpods.
TouchID works 95% of the time for me. Every machine in every store here in Australia works with Apple Pay so I use it many times each day. Sometimes it’s the sweaty hands from the weather or just an older machine with a weaker reader that frustrates the experience. Or sometimes there are machines where the sensor is at an odd angle (like on the side) which makes using touchID a bit tricky. But most of the time it works quite well I must admit.
But with FaceID, the whole process is basically faultless now. And works for me 100% of the time.
In theory. But as someone who didn't bother using AP at one merchant today because the PIN pad was on the cashier's side of the counter (and thus difficult to impossible to access for customers) and who had to push the button on another's Square app to activate the contactless reader because the employee/owner didn't do so, reality is definitely not like that.
Oh, and those instances weren't the first times I've encountered issues, either.
You don’t need a cellular connection to use Apple Pay on your watch. I have a series 2 and had forgotten my phone/wallet on a few occasions. Paid with my watch.

Apple doesn’t store or have access to the credit, debit, or prepaid card numbers you added to Apple Pay. Apple Pay only stores a portion of your actual card numbers and a portion of your Device Account Numbers, along with a card description, to help you manage your cards and add your cards across your devices.
Can someone tell me why FaceID is turned off for Apple Pay and when i turn it on it automatically just shuts back off?
I've used touch ID and face ID and I definitely think Face ID is slower (not a lot, but an annoying little bit) and more cumbersome.
I had it down with touch ID. Pulled the phone out of my pocked with my thumb already on the home button. Never had it fail.

I was thinking about voice calls and streaming on my AW... I know about Apple Pay, i am using it on my AW without iPhone being nearby.
Most employees in most stores barely know how to operate the register as a whole. Most of the time when I try to use Apple Pay they've done something that makes the reader unresponsive for everything and don't know what they did or how they did it.
I’ve been using Apple Pay more with my x than I did with my other devices. It helps that the grocery store I frequent finally activated Apple Pay.
I do feel it’s teally fast. It’s faster than pulling out a card now, although I’m unsure why there isn’t a similar ore authentication option with Touch ID.
I do find myself choosing Apple oh over an actual card though, which really wasn’t the case before this. The only place I still pull out my card is Costco and target.

Brnging it near the reader still prompts double press. I’ve not tried just using wallet but I imagine this is a safety precaution anyway. You need to Elko it a physical response because your face is now the final authentication step (and presumably you’re looking at the device during all this time).
I use it everyday, never get held up. Usually some idiot in front with a ticket or debit card that is holding the queue up, or an Oyster card they’ve forgotten to top up.
