How to Set a Google Play Store PIN in Wear OS

This guide will take you step-by-step through the process of setting a PIN for the Google Play Store on your Wear OS watch.

Your Wear OS watch utilizes two different PINs. There’s one for Google Pay (which involves locking your screen) and one for the Google Play Store – which is the one we’re going cover.

  1. Make sure that your watch is connected to your phone and the Wear OS App is open. Locate the Wear OS App or watch-face that you want to buy on the Google Play Store on your watch. Tap the buy button.

  17. Since this is the first time you’ve used the PIN on your watch, you’ll be asked if you want to be prompted to enter it every time you make a purchase on the Google Play Store. It’s probably a good idea to select Ask every time but it’s not required.
