If your Apple Watch is not double-clicking to pay, ensure that Apple Pay is properly set up in the Wallet & Apple Pay section of the Watch app on your iPhone. Additionally, check that Wrist Detection is enabled, as this is necessary for Apple Pay to work. If it's still not responding, try restarting your Apple Watch. Also, ensure that your skin is in contact with the Watch, as the device needs to confirm you’re wearing it securely to proceed with the payment.
