Google's Pixel Watch is getting a major upgrade with a new feature called 'express pay,' which allows users to make payments by simply tapping their watch to a retail terminal without opening the Wallet app. This feature is similar to Apple's 'express mode' but requires users to opt in and unlock their watch to use it. Before this update, Pixel Watch users had to double-tap the device's crown to open the Wallet app and make a payment. Google is also adding other useful features to the Pixel Watch, such as automatically locking your phone when you're out of range and alerting you when you leave your phone behind. Additionally, the company is trying to make identity checks faster when your watch and phone are connected, allowing you to perform sensitive actions by adding a PIN. The March update also brings the Find Hub to the original Pixel Watch and other Wear OS watches, adds new one-handed gestures to the Pixel Watch 3, and expands the Satellite SOS feature on the Pixel Watch 4 to more locations, including Europe, Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska.
