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 doesn't require you to open the Wallet app, which some might argue is a step too far in the convenience department. However, Google has its reasons. The update also brings a range of other handy features, including automatic phone locking and an alert system for when you leave your phone behind. And this is the part most people miss... These features work seamlessly with the Pixel 8 and above, making your Pixel Watch a more useful companion to your Pixel phone. But hold on, there's more! Google is also trying to speed up identity checks when your watch and phone are connected, allowing you to perform sensitive actions faster. This feature is only available with the Pixel Watch 3, Pixel Watch 4, and the Pixel 8 Pro and newer. So, what do you think? Is the Pixel Watch's new payment feature a game-changer, or is it a step too far? Let us know in the comments!
