Can I customize the QR code payment settings on the Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro


Yes, you can customize the QR code payment settings on the Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro, but there are some limitations to be aware of.

Customization Options

1. Default Payment App: The Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro allows you to set the Huawei Wallet as the default payment app. This is done through the settings menu on the watch, specifically under "More connections" where you can enable NFC and select your default payment app[1].

2. Adding Cards: To customize your payment options, you need to use the Huawei Health app on your connected smartphone. Within this app, you can add loyalty cards and possibly other types of cards, but adding a bank card directly through the watch is not supported at this time[1][4].

3. Using QR Codes: The watch generates a QR code for payments that can be scanned at participating retailers. However, this functionality is primarily tied to loyalty programs rather than direct bank card payments[1][3].

Limitations

- No Direct Bank Card Addition: Unlike some other smartwatches, the Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro does not support adding bank cards directly through the watch interface. Instead, it relies on the Huawei Health app for any card management[1][4].

- Synchronization Required: Any changes made in terms of adding or managing cards must be done through the Huawei Health app on your smartphone. The watch will then synchronize these changes[1][6].

In summary, while you have some customization options regarding payment settings and can utilize QR codes for transactions, direct bank card management is limited to the Huawei Health app on your phone.
