- hboon 10y agoNo, the paired iPhone doesn't need to be around for a few features, including tracking activity and Apple Pay.
- jeremy_wiebe 10y agoIt does. AFAIK, the Touch ID from the phone authenticates Apple Pay transactions from the watch. [edit] I stand corrected. Looks like the watch had a Secure Element also to store the pay info. It automatically locks if you take it off.
