HUAWEI Philippines and GCash have launched Watch Pay, a new feature that turns HUAWEI wearables into handy payment devices. With Watch Pay, you can pay securely using QR codes right from your wrist.
This is the first time QR code payments are available on wearable devices in the Philippines. The feature works with these HUAWEI models: WATCH Ultimate, WATCH GT 4, WATCH GT 5 Series, WATCH D2, WATCH Fit 3, and Band 10. More future models will also support this feature.
With the GCash app, you can pay bills, buy load, transfer money, and shop at over six million partner stores. This feature arrives after HUAWEI was named the top global brand for wrist-worn devices priced under USD 700 in 2024. According to IDC, HUAWEI’s shipments grew by 33.6% last year, even as global shipments of wearables dropped by 1.4%.
HUAWEI is also improving its devices with the TruSense System for better health tracking. The brand has expanded its presence to Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
How to Set Up GCash on Your HUAWEI Smartwatch
Here’s how to get started with Watch Pay:
- Log in to your HUAWEI ID on an Android or HUAWEI phone (region must be set to the Philippines).
- Connect your smartwatch to the HUAWEI Health app.
- Log in to your GCash app and verify your account.
- On your watch, go to Settings > Payment > GCash and install the app.
- Open the app, enter your GCash PIN, and scan the QR code shown on the GCash app.
- Tap Bind on the GCash app to complete the setup.
Once linked, your watch will display a dynamic QR code for fast, easy, and secure payments.
HUAWEI wearables are available at Shopee, Lazada, TikTok, the HUAWEI Online Store, and HUAWEI Experience Stores nationwide.
