American Express went from never leave home without it, to never live life without it. That is, unless you wear a Garmin watch and use Garmin Pay.

The vast number of athletes using Garmin Pay are unable to use their American Express accounts with this feature, leading us to use alternative methods of payments compatible with the app.

Many of us like to disconnect from our phones and leave everything behind to be our best selves. Occasionally, some of this is done with coffee and pastries at the end with a community. However, if you’re an American Express holder, you can’t achieve this disconnect if you are a Garmin Pay user.

American Express, please support your athletes and bring us one step closer to letting live life with our investment in you without needing our phones or wallets.
