HUAWEI and GCash have teamed up to introduce the groundbreaking Watch Pay feature, allowing users to make secure QR code-based payments directly from HUAWEI smartwatches. Learn how this innovative feature is reshaping the future of cashless transactions in the Philippines.
HUAWEI Philippines has teamed up with GCash to introduce Watch Pay, a new feature that enables QR code-based payments directly from HUAWEI wearables. This collaboration makes HUAWEI the first brand in the Philippines to offer this advanced cashless payment option on smartwatches. The feature is available on the latest HUAWEI wearable models, including the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate, HUAWEI WATCH GT 4, HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series, HUAWEI WATCH D2, HUAWEI WATCH Fit 3, and the HUAWEI Band 10, with more future releases planned to support this feature.
With the Watch Pay feature, users can now make fast, secure, and convenient payments directly from their smartwatch without needing their phones or physical wallets. By integrating GCash, the Philippines’ leading financial super app, into HUAWEI wearables, this partnership provides a seamless and accessible payment solution. This is a significant leap forward in the adoption of QR code payments, offering a faster and more secure alternative to traditional payment methods.
GCash has long been a leader in the digital payment space, with its track record of offering innovative financial solutions, including SMS-based payments in 2004 and the introduction of QR code-based payments. With Watch Pay, GCash enhances its services by enabling users to conduct transactions directly from their HUAWEI wearables, allowing them to make payments on the go at millions of partner merchants nationwide.
The launch of the Watch Pay feature also aligns with HUAWEI’s continued success in the global wearable market. According to IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker report, HUAWEI ranked first globally for wrist-worn devices priced under USD 700 in 2024. This achievement highlights the brand's strong performance, with a 33.6% growth in global shipments of wearables, reinforcing HUAWEI’s leadership in the wearable technology sector.
HUAWEI’s wearables, which include the WATCH Series, WATCH GT Series, WATCH Fit, and Band Series, offer a variety of advanced features, including health and fitness tracking capabilities. The introduction of Watch Pay builds on HUAWEI’s commitment to providing users with smarter and more convenient ways to integrate technology into their daily lives.
For users, setting up GCash on their HUAWEI wearable is simple. They just need to ensure their HUAWEI ID and phone are set to the Philippines region, connect their smartwatch to the HUAWEI Health app, and log in to the GCash mobile app. Once GCash is installed on the device, users can easily link their accounts by scanning a QR code through the GCash app. After linking their accounts, users can start making payments with their smartwatch, making purchases at a wide range of stores that accept QR code payments, such as 7-Eleven, Starbucks, and many more.
By making payments on the go easier than ever, HUAWEI and GCash are redefining convenience. With Watch Pay, users can leave their phones and wallets behind and enjoy the freedom of secure, fast payments directly from their wrist. The collaboration aims to drive the adoption of digital payment solutions in the Philippines, aligning with GCash’s mission to empower Filipinos with innovative and accessible financial tools.
The HUAWEI wearables featuring the Watch Pay feature are now available on popular online platforms like Shopee, Lazada, TikTok, as well as in HUAWEI’s official online store and Experience Stores nationwide.
