When your solution is basically a clever hack to support outdated terminals, stuff like this is bound to happen.

On that note, my cards haven't been wiped from my S3 since last week. However, it's too early to tell if that means that the latest software update fixed the issue or if I finally found a workaround (power cycling both the phone and watch once a week).
Don’t trust clerks into knowing enough. Every time my Apple Pay fails (like when it isn’t enabled on a mom & pop Vx520!) the clerk always suggest I put my phone on the magstripe reader because “he’s seen it working there before”
