										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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. <span id="more-16048"></span></p>
<p>Your Wear OS watch utilizes two different PINs. There&#8217;s <a href="https://support.google.com/wearos/answer/9248353" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="how to set a lock screen PIN for a Wear OS watch">one for Google Pay</a> (which involves locking your screen) and one for the Google Play Store &#8211; which is the one we&#8217;re going cover. </p>
<h2>Set a Google Play Store PIN</h2>
<ol>
<li> 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 <em>watch</em>. Tap the <strong>buy</strong> button. </li>
<p><img width="450" height="405" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/play_store_pin_wearos/img00.jpg" alt="wear os watch with the buy button highlighted" /></p>
<li> You&#8217;ll be asked if you&#8217;d like to create a PIN. Tap the <strong>Create PIN on phone</strong> link. </li>
<p><img width="450" height="432" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/play_store_pin_wearos/img01.jpg" alt="wear os asking to set a google play store pin" /></p>
<li> A notification will appear on your phone from Wear OS. Tap it. </li>
<p><img width="450" height="88" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/play_store_pin_wearos/img02.png" alt="wear os notification on iPhone" /></p>
<li> Sign in to Google with your account. </li>
<p><img width="450" height="359" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/play_store_pin_wearos/img03.png" alt="google sign in window" /></p>
<li> Now enter the 4 digit PIN you want to use for the Play Store on your watch in both of the fields, then tap the <strong>CREATE PIN</strong> button. </li>
<p><img width="450" height="418" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/play_store_pin_wearos/img04.png" alt="create a google account pin window" /></p>
<li> At this point you should be presented with a confirmation window letting you know the PIN was created successfully. Switch back over to your watch. </li>
<p><img width="450" height="344" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/play_store_pin_wearos/img05.png" alt="confirmation of google account pin creation" /></p>
<li> Once again tap the <strong>Buy</strong> button for the App or watch-face you want to purchase. </li>
<p><img width="450" height="405" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/play_store_pin_wearos/img00.jpg" alt="wear os watch with the buy button highlighted" /></p>
<li> Enter your newly created PIN. </li>
<p><img width="450" height="411" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/play_store_pin_wearos/img07.jpg" alt="enter your google play store pin on a wear os watch" /></p>
<li> Since this is the first time you&#8217;ve used the PIN on your watch, you&#8217;ll be asked if you want to be prompted to enter it every time you make a purchase on the Google Play Store. It&#8217;s probably a good idea to select <strong>Ask every time</strong> but it&#8217;s not required. </li>
<p><img width="450" height="403" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/play_store_pin_wearos/img08.jpg" alt="ask for google play store pin every time screen" /></p>
<li> That&#8217;s it, you&#8217;re all done! </li>

<p>Before you get started there are a few things to note &#8211; </p>
<ol type="i">
<li> You&#8217;ll need your Apple Watch changer. </li>
<li> You can only &#8220;upload&#8221; music to your Apple Watch that&#8217;s already on your iPhone &#8211; in the format of a Playlist. You can <a href="https://www.simplehelp.net/2015/06/18/how-to-create-a-playlist-on-your-iphone-or-ipad/" title="how to make a playlist on your iphone or ipad without itunes" target="_blank">create a Playlist directly on your iPhone</a>, or from within iTunes. If you create one via iTunes, make sure to sync it to your iPhone. </li>
<li> You can&#8217;t add more than 2GB (gigabytes) of Music to your Apple Watch &#8211; keep that in mind when you create the playlist you want to sync to your Apple Watch. </li>
</ol>
<p>With all of that covered &#8211; let&#8217;s get started! </p>
<ol>
<li> Launch the <strong>Apple Watch</strong> App on your iPhone, and select <strong>Music</strong>. </li>
<p><img width="300" height="104" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/apple_watch_music/img00.png" alt="" /></p>
<li> Before we add music to your Apple Watch, let&#8217;s increase the maximum amount of storage that can be dedicated to music files. Tap <strong>Playlist Limit</strong> </li>
<p><img width="300" height="119" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/apple_watch_music/img01.png" alt="" /></p>
<li> With <strong>Storage</strong> selected from the top &#8216;menu&#8217; &#8211; select <strong>2.0 GB</strong> <em>Note:</em> if you&#8217;re sure you&#8217;re never going to add 2GBs worth of music to your Apple Watch, you can skip this step. Either way, tap <strong>< Music</strong> to return to the main Music App settings. </li>
<p><img width="300" height="375" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/apple_watch_music/img02.png" alt="" /></p>
<li> Now it&#8217;s time to decide which Playlist you want to sync to your Apple Watch. Tap the <strong>Synced Playlist</strong> item. </li>
<p><img width="300" height="146" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/apple_watch_music/img03.png" alt="" /></p>
<li> Each of the Playlists on your iPhone will be displayed as a list. As illustrated in the screenshot below, I have 2 Playlists on my iPhone &#8211; <strong>Purchased</strong> and the one I created specifically for my watch, descriptively titled <strong>Apple Watch</strong>. Select the Playlist you want to &#8216;upload&#8217; to your watch.  </li>
<p><img width="300" height="256" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/apple_watch_music/img04.png" alt="" /></p>
<li> Now you&#8217;ll be presented with a <strong>Sync Pending&#8230;</strong> message. </li>
<p><img width="300" height="137" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/apple_watch_music/img05.png" alt="" /></p>
<li> Plug in that Apple Watch. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you use a &#8220;wall charger&#8221; or just plug it into a (powered) USB port.  </li>
<p><a href="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/apple_watch_music/img06.png"><img width="450" height="318" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/apple_watch_music/img06a.png" alt="" /><br />
click to enlarge</a> </p>
<li> Now your Playlist will sync/upload to your Apple Watch! </li>
<p><img width="300" height="140" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/apple_watch_music/img07.png" alt="" /></p>
<li> Depending on the number of files in your Playlist (and the size of those files) &#8211; it make take a while for everything to copy to your Apple Watch. Give it time. </li>
<p><img width="300" height="148" src="https://www.simplehelp.net/images/apple_watch_music/img08.png" alt="" /></p>
<li> That&#8217;s it! You can now listen to music without needing your iPhone nearby (or more likely, not charged).  </li>

Select <strong>Settings</strong> by clicking the <strong>Select</strong> button again. </li>
