Wrist Payments for All: GCash Goes Cross-Platform
HUAWEI and GCash just made your wrist the most powerful wallet in the room. And no, you don’t need to be a HUAWEI phone user to flex it. GCash Watch Pay Now Works on All Platforms
GCash Watch Pay, the QR-based payment feature that’s been quietly revolutionizing tap-free transactions, is now officially available on iOS. That means iPhone users can finally join the wrist-pay club alongside Android and HUAWEI device owners. Whether you’re grabbing coffee, hopping on a jeepney, or panic-buying snacks before a meeting, you can now pay in seconds—no phone, no fumbling, no drama.
This move isn’t just about convenience. It’s about inclusivity. By expanding Watch Pay to iOS, HUAWEI and GCash are saying, “Cashless living shouldn’t depend on your phone brand.” And honestly, we love that energy.
Supported Devices: From GT Series to Band 10
Let’s talk gear. The GCash Watch Pay feature now works across HUAWEI’s latest wearables, including:
- HUAWEI WATCH GT 4 and GT 5 Series
- HUAWEI WATCH FIT 3 and FIT 4 Series
- HUAWEI WATCH D2
- HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate
- HUAWEI Band 10
- HUAWEI WATCH 5 (already supported on Android and HUAWEI, coming soon to iOS)
If you’re wearing one of these, congratulations—you’re one QR code away from becoming a walking fintech solution. And if you’re still rocking a non-smartwatch, well, consider this your sign to upgrade.
How to Set It Up: Slightly Nerdy, Totally Worth It
Yes, there’s a setup process. No, it’s not rocket science. Here’s the breakdown:
For HUAWEI Phones:
- Log in to your HUAWEI ID and set your region to the Philippines.
- Connect your smartwatch via the HUAWEI Health app.
- Verify your GCash account.
- On your watch, go to Settings > Payment.
- Install the GCash app on the watch.
- Enter your GCash PIN and scan the QR code from your phone.
- Tap “Bind” on the mobile app.
- Wait for the confirmation on both devices.
For iOS and Android Phones:
- Download the HUAWEI Health app.
- Create a HUAWEI ID and set the region to the Philippines.
- Connect your smartwatch.
- Verify your GCash account.
- Go to Settings > Payment on the watch.
- Install and open the GCash app on the watch.
- Enter your PIN and scan the QR code.
- Tap “Bind” and wait for confirmation.
It’s a few steps, sure. But once it’s done, you’ll be paying for things faster than your friends can say “Wait, I left my wallet.”
Why This Matters: Fitness Meets Fintech
HUAWEI’s wearables have always been about more than just counting steps and tracking sleep. They’re lifestyle tools. And now, with GCash Watch Pay, they’re financial tools too.
Imagine finishing a run and grabbing a smoothie without reaching for your phone. Or paying for your groceries while your hands are full of reusable bags and existential dread. That’s the kind of frictionless experience this update delivers.
It’s also a smart move for HUAWEI, which continues to lead the smartwatch and fitness band market in the Philippines. By integrating GCash, the country’s top finance super app, HUAWEI is doubling down on its commitment to making tech that’s not just smart—but practical.
Security and Speed: QR Codes That Actually Work
Let’s address the elephant in the room: QR codes can be hit or miss. But GCash Watch Pay is built for speed and reliability. The dynamic QR code refreshes instantly, and the PIN-based access adds a layer of security that keeps your funds safe—even if your wrist is doing all the work.
Whether you’re commuting, shopping, or just trying to survive the daily grind, this system is designed to keep things moving. No lag. No awkward scanning. Just tap, scan, and go.
The Bigger Picture: Inclusive Digital Finance
This isn’t just a tech update—it’s a statement. By making Watch Pay available across iOS, Android, and HUAWEI platforms, GCash and HUAWEI are pushing for a more inclusive digital finance ecosystem.
In a country where mobile wallets are becoming essential, this kind of cross-platform support is a game-changer. It means more people can access secure, cashless payments—regardless of what phone they use or what OS they swear allegiance to.
And in the end, that’s what tech should be: accessible, useful, and just a little bit cool.
HUAWEI Wearables are available on Shopee, Lazada, TikTok, HUAWEI Online Store and HUAWEI Experience Stores nationwide.
