Any garmin instinct 2 solar users? Can you use payment using the watch similar to applepay?

I'm using apple watch ultra, but the battery life is unable to last if I'm using GPS for 24 hours.
as most of the time, I made my payment using applepay.
Any idea if garmin can work similarly to applepay?
Thank you for your feedback.

Garmin's own payment gateway is called Garminpay and yes the instict 2 solar does support it according to the spec sheet. However, in Singapore Garminpay is only limited to these specific banks and their cards

Thanks for your feedback, too bad, I only have DBS visa. So, I guess will still stick to my AW, till garmin allowed more banks

Can apply for a Revolut or Wise account which is essentially a virtual card/wallet where you top up when you need to spend. Its an extra hassle but i find this more secure than conventional bank cards(take it from me who recently had to go through the trouble of disputing unauthorized transactions on my DBS card). I using Wise for Garminpay on my forerunner and its been fine so far.

Tried using GarminPay before with Revolut before when they have some rebate on SimplyGo, but after they stopped, I also stopped, cos UOB One also has rebate with SimplyGo, easier and more direct with GooglePay.

GarminPay has not added more SG banks for all these years. Been hoping they do but I gave up on them. They are just not interested to link up with the banks (or maybe, to share the profits).
