Smartwatches are now outfitted with more features than ever before, and over the last few years, one of our favorite additions has been support for Google Pay (formerly known as Android Pay). Watches that have Google Pay can be used to pay for things at stores that accept NFC payments, allowing you to buy a coffee, pizza, and so much more with just your watch. Without further ado, here are the Wear OS watches you can buy right now that have Google Pay!
- Latest and greatest: Fossil Sport
- Classy: Fossil Explorist HR
- Hello, gorgeous: Fossil Venture HR
- Look at this thing: Skagen Falster 2
- Battery for days: TicWatch Pro
- Does it all: Misfit Vapor 2
Latest and greatest: Fossil Sport
Want the very latest that Wear OS has to offer? Get the Fossil Sport. This is the only watch on our list that's powered by the new Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor, delivering improved performance and battery life. Along with Google Pay, the Fossil Sport also features GPS and a heart-rate sensor in an incredibly lightweight body.
Classy: Fossil Explorist HR
Another Fossil watch that supports Google Pay is the Explorist HR. While it's powered by the older Wear 2100 CPU, it still delivers a heart-rate sensor, GPS, 24-hour battery life, and a sleek, classy design that looks fantastic thanks to the included leather watch band.
Hello, gorgeous: Fossil Venture HR
Yep, another Fossil watch! With the Venture HR, Fossil designed this one to be more appealing to those looking for a wearable with a more feminine touch. The Venture has a smaller body with a slightly tweaked version of the Explorist's design that we really, really like. It's got Google Pay, GPS, can monitor your heart-rate, and more.
Look at this thing: Skagen Falster 2
Without a doubt, the Skagen Falster 2 is one of the best-looking Wear OS watches that money can buy. Its simple, clean aesthetic is one of the best we've ever seen, and this model with a stainless steel mesh band only accentuates the good looks even more. Also included here is GPS, a heart-rate sensor, and battery life that's rated for 24 hours.
Battery for days: TicWatch Pro
If you want a smartwatch that can last multiple days on a single charge, the TicWatch Pro is for you. Thanks to a unique two-screen design, you can switch back and forth between Smart and Essential Mode to extend your battery life up to 30 days. The design is a bit bulky, but you also get GPS, heart-rate tracking, and Google Pay (of course).
Does it all: Misfit Vapor 2
For people that want a no-frills Wear OS watch that looks good and has every feature you could ask for, the Misfit Vapor 2 may be worth a look. Its simple design allows it to seamlessly blend in with just about every outfit, and in regards to its feature list, it's packing Google Pay, GPS, a heart-rate sensor, and can even be used in the pool!
While all of the watches on this list support Google Pay, there are a couple we recommend above the rest. First up, the Fossil Sport is a fantastic choice thanks to its newer processor and lightweight design that make it a perfect workout companion at the gym. If you're looking for something a little classier and have a few more dollars to spend, we really think you'll be quite happy with the Skagen Falster 2.
