• Enter your GCash pin. Scan the QR code displayed via the GCash mobile app.
• Select "Bind" on the GCash mobile app.
• Both the GCash mobile app and the watch screen should show that the linking is successful.

After successfully linking accounts to the HUAWEI wearables, users can immediately use their devices to conduct their transactions using the GCash QR payment code displayed on their watch.

Users can enjoy fast transactions even without their phones or wallets with just a scan at any 7-Eleven, Lawson, Marketplace, Starbucks, or other stores that accept QR code-based payments.

Watch Pay is available for use on the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate, HUAWEI WATCH GT 4, HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series, HUAWEI WATCH D2, HUAWEI WATCH Fit 3, and the HUAWEI Band 10 and will be available for wearables launched in the future.
