Pin before Pay?

[Kathryna]

Is it possible to require a pin before Samsung Pay starts transmitting my card info? (Galaxy Watch 7)

I am occasionally asked to enter my pin, but not every time. 

I have noticed a number of occasions lately when I must have bumped the side of the watch, as the payment app is open and transmitting my card info. 

I would like to prevent that.

On the watch, Samsung Wallet is unlocked when you unlock your watch and remains unlocked.  Sometimes it re-locks and you have to re-enter the pin, but if you long press the Wallet button, the assumption is you are ready to pay.  I open the wallet on my watch, choose my card and don't put it near the receiver until I am ready for the transaction to complete.

I was hoping to prevent more accidental opening of payment...like during exercise. Apparently push ups long press the button.

I exercise with my wrists and have never once activated Samsung Pay by accident. I can't even twist my wrist into any position where a button can be touched. Even so, your payment info is not transmitted unless your watch makes contact with the NFC receiver, so you are unlikely to get mysterious charges off an accidental activation. Even if someone next to you was carrying an NFC receiver, they'd have to touch your watch.

There was an extra unlock when Samsung Pay was opened, but a large majority of users expressed their opinion and it was changed.

Good to know. Thanks
