   I was in the parking lot of a supermarket, and it occured to me to try   
   again; same thing. Then I thought that perhaps it was not an app   
   problem, but a bank problem. So I tried with the card of another bank,   
   that I seldom use. Bingo! Added to the watch easily. Well, I had to ask   
   google where to add a card to fitbit, because it is hidden. Today menu,   
   then tap on the watch icon top-left, then on the watch device, then   
   "google", which in the small print says "wallet".   
      
   Then I tried to activate it in the watch, still inside my car. Huh, it   
   asks for a pin. What pin? It said nothing of a pin. Ask google again.   
   Yes, there is one. Set it up. Then check the phone. Right, pin accepted.   
   It is cumbersome to enter a pin there. A mistake when tapping, I have to   
   restart, dunno how to erase the last digit. Huh, it is still active, an   
   hour later. How do I turn it off? [asking chatgpt] AH! It continues   
   active till you remove the watch from your wrist. That's cute!   
      
   Anyway, I entered the supermarket a second time, bought something, and   
   paid with the watch. Warm feeling. ;-)   
      
   Although it is not the card and bank I prefer to do normal payments with.
