@fadiabuazzeh It sounds like your watch 6 thinks that you have taken the watch off.

With Samsung Wallet enabled, it will ask for a PIN every time you put the watch on your wrist. But as long as it continually detects your wrist it won't ask for the PIN to  open the watch.

I'm using Samsung Pay on my Watch4, and only need to put my pin in when I've removed my watch from my arm (e.g. to charge) and then put it back on. As long as my watch stays on my arm, no need to put my pin in again.

Yes disabling pin will remove Samsung pay off the watch. It's a security thing that Tizen doesn't have and is required.
