How frequent do you need to input pin for Garmin pay?

I remember you don't need to input pin for 2nd time if it's under 24 hours or if you don't remove watch ?

I need to input pins quite frequently in a span of few hours even though I didn't remove watch.

In this the correct behavior?

  • My 955 asks for a pin every 24 hours, if I don't remove my watch from my wrist. If I remove it from my wrist, it will ask for a pin again the next time I want to use Garmin pay, even if it's less than 24 hours. 

    What I did notice is, that if you wear the watchband rather loose it may think you removed the watch and will also ask for the PIN again. Maybe try tightening the band a little bit?

    Yeah I thought about this too.

    But strange my HR data is complete on Garmin Connect.

    I think I will just maintain the same level of tightness to give up on the Garmin Pay.

  • I have the same behavior PIN asked every minute... With the clock on my arm....

  • Omg I thought you are kidding.

    I need to input pin again in a span of 2 min.

    Garmin should increase the threshold time to longer assuming no HR is detected.

    The likelihood of theft within a small timeframe is very low.
