Saw on the Garmin Japan official website that Japan Net Bank starts supporting Garmin Pay, I happened to have an account and VISA card with this bank, so I immediately set it up and tested it out with a purchase.

Launched the Garmin Connect App on my iPhone, found the Garmin Pay settings page, selected VISA, entered the card number and expiration date; the setup was very simple. After filling in the details, a confirmation email was sent to the Japan Net Bank email address. The screen looked like this: Once confirmed, the VISA card setup is complete.

At the same time, it synced to the watch. A message appeared after the setup was finished, Launching the e-wallet on the Garmin D2 Delta PX, the VISA card is also displayed on the watch.

Then I went to a nearby Lawson convenience store to buy some random items, opened the e-wallet, and the watch prompted me to enter my Japan Net Bank account password, After entering the password, a “Please approach NFC receiver” message appeared, Next, I held the watch close to the receiver on the convenience store’s POS machine, The payment was finished in less than a second, The shopping experience was very smooth.

Opened Garmin Connect on the phone, Found the VISA card in the Garmin Pay menu, I could see the transaction history displayed at the bottom of the screen, It looks like using Garmin Pay for cashless payments might become a new habit in the future.

I noticed in the screen above that the last 4 digits of the credit card number are displayed as 0009 during payment, so I checked the Lawson receipt, The last 4 digits were indeed 0009.
