That's not how it works. You don't have to enter a PIN to pay with the watch. You just double tap the side button and hold your watch against the reader and the payment is made.
If you lock your watch with a PIN, then you have to enter the PIN the first time you use the watch after putting it on your wrist. As long as you continue to wear it, you don't have to enter that PIN again. If you take your watch off, then you have to put the PIN in again the next time you put it on and want to use it. It's so if somebody steals your watch they can't use it. Entering a PIN is something you tend to only do once when you put it on in the morning.
What probably happened was that he put his watch on in the morning, but didn't use it until he had to pay for something. Then he had to unlock his watch. In the vast majority of cases, the watch would already be unlocked and there wouldn't be any PIN to enter - the PIN isn't used during payment.
