And the transaction history includes payments made with your watch?

How do I access the transaction history on the watch? I really can't find it.
Just paid with my Watch (via boon.) for the first time at a Beck bakery in Fürth. Transaction went through very quickly and it felt damn good to finally be able to do this after waiting for 4 years. Yay!
Look in the Watch App on the iPhone, scroll down to "Wallet & Apple Pay", click on the card you want to check and you see an info and transaction tab
@NedwardF: I'm not seeing any tabs after I tap on my boon. cardMaybe it's boon. related? At least I can see the transaction in their app.
strange ... I'm seeing the tabs for boon. too
I have the tabs in the Wallet app, not in the Watch app. Very strange indeed.. well, as long as everything works I'm not complaining.
New card design for boon. got pushed through today. Don't like it, as in the card stack all you see is just a "green card". I wonder if Apple is making it a requirement to put "virtual card" on cards that have no physical counterpart. The Deutsche Bank has the same thing on their virtual card. Odd...
Also: It seems like the way transactions are processed really differs by what type of card it is. boon. usually took for ever (even at Aldi Süd) to process. My fastest transaction yesterday was with the comdirect Visa Credit. Literally held it to the terminal and the receipt came racing out. Amex I'm not too happy with, as both times I needed to sign a receipt (I had an argument with one of the cashiers and just noted down a squiggly line). In the UK my fastest transactions are with the HSBC Credit and Amex, but even the "online only" cards like Monzo are not really slow either. Are terminals in Germany somehow different in the way they are hooked up?
I was using boon. as a stop-gap until DKB and/or ING join, but as there joining in 2019 and the newest boon. update has really ruined a lot (esp. the stupid top-up restrictions), I'll be using bunq as a temporary solution as my second Euro account.

surprised the Esso personal yesterday paying my fuel bill with the Amex on the watch in less than a second with no PIN or signature ... "What was that?", she asked
What kind of restrictions? I didn't use boon. before yesterday, so what changed?
previously you had slider, where you could put any amount, e.g. €124, now the amounts are predefined, e.g. €50, €100, €200, €500
I tweeted this to them this morning, let's see what they say
just did the same ... and added my quick fix ... making it the default card ...
There are some more things in the new app from Boon. Watch careful at the autotopup. It has changed.
Before it was setup like this (example):
If amount is under 100€ topup to 200€
Now it is:
If amount is under 100€ topup BY 100€
And you cannot set a smaller amount for the recharge then the border you set.
If you set the lower limit to 200€ it will recharge by 200€. you cannot choose to recharge by 100€

You used to be able to set it like this with auto top-up: If below amount x -> top-up amount y
A while back X and Y could be the same. So ie. 50€ (you spend something), it would top-up again back to 50€. Now if you pick 50€ as the limit, you can only top-up BY a set amount. Totally confusing and a stupid system. This way I'll be having loads of cash sitting around on my boon account and my connected credit card will have all sorts of 50€ top-ups with no relation to what I was actually spending.
My reason for cancelling the card and will let them know as well.
I just tried to pay the first time with my Amex at Rewe via Apple Pay. Couldn‘t get it to work. Then used the same card contactless (the same way I normally always pay) - worked perfectly well.
Somehow I feel as stupid as a Handelsblatt journalist now... really strange. I used to use boon via UK on the same phone years ago and could pay at the same Rewe without problems with Apple Pay. Maybe I‘m cursed.

Yes, mine is also still set at "below 50€, top up to 60€", but I wanted to change it and once you only get the option described above. Have a look by tapping on it...
