Google's Pixel Watch is getting a major upgrade, allowing users to make payments with a simple tap of their wrist. But here's where it gets controversial... The new 'express pay' feature, coming to the Pixel Watch 2 and later, lets you skip the Wallet app and tap to pay at retail terminals. It's similar to Apple's 'express mode', but with a twist. You'll need to opt-in and unlock your watch for each transaction. This update addresses a common pain point for Pixel Watch users, who previously had to double-tap the crown to access the Wallet app. But is this enough to make the Pixel Watch a more compelling choice? And this is the part most people miss... While the new feature is convenient, it's just one of several enhancements coming to the Pixel Watch. Google is also adding a 'left-behind' alert, which notifies you when you've left your phone behind, and a faster identity check process when your watch and phone are connected. These features, along with others, make the Pixel Watch a more versatile and useful companion to the Pixel phone. So, will these updates be enough to convince you to switch to the Pixel Watch? Or is it still missing key features that hold you back? Let us know in the comments!
