I tried it a few places but the first time I noticed was at work I brought up my card on the watch and nothing at all.. even with the newest watchiOS the phone still works.

I've heard others say I have to unpair and pair it again? What's the reasoning why it just stopped?

Rather than that, try removing the card, then adding it again (should be listed under your registered cards, so you should only need to verify it.)

That's not the issue.. none of the cards work on it and if you try to use it at a terminal it will say application not supported.. It was working fine 3 days ago.. I'll just unpair the watch and try again.. if that doesn't work then I'd have to get it checked by Apple... but after 3 apple watches this is the first time I've seen this happen.

I have 4 cards on my watch and none of them are working.. on vending machine it just acts like it's a non NFC card placed in front of it.. smarter ones will say application not supported.
 
I forced restarted the watch and went to try it again at a terminal It keeps failing..Im sure if I unpair it then connect it again it's going to screw up my cell connected to the watch?

I hope I don't need to make another appointment with apple over this.. my 3rd Apple watch and I never had a terminal give me an issue.
