Discover Card users can make contactless payments via Garmin smartwatches using the virtual wallet Garmin Pay.
Garmin Pay, powered by FitPay, is available on several Garmin smartwatches, including the vivoactive 3 series, the Forerunner 645, Forerunner 645 music, fenix 5 Plus series and D2 Delta aviator watch series, according to a press release.
Card members can use the contactless smartwatches at any retailer that accepts Discover. It uses near field communications technology at the point of sale. The card number can be added to Garmin Pay via the Garmin Connect mobile app, according to the release.
