Assume you are not in US? Phone pay never caught on here in a big way unfortunately.
I did it when I was travelling to the US a few years back and the store clerk looked at me like I had two heads. It's so normal in Canada I never thought much of it, and here I was a celebrity in this store and everyone was just wow'd at the magic I'd done.
I’m in the US and use my watch or phone for nearly every purchase. I was at the farmers market this morning and used my watch for five transactions. The last time I used a card was at the dentist a few weeks ago.
It is definitely picking up very quickly currently. Far more common in the last couple years than before.
