Recently had a watch update.  Why did Samsung have to go back to the old way of having to unlock Samsung wallet after the watch has already been unlocked?  The watch still requires a security PIN and I have to unlock it when I put it on my wrist.  Now, once again, I have to unlock Samsung wallet the first time I attempt to use it for the day.  This is an unnecessary extra step because no one is  grabbing my wrist to activate my wallet.

 

Or, is it just happening to me since I haven't seen any other complaints about it?

There is no explaining why Samsung does what it does.

From lurking, I see that In the past people have gone bonkers over this double security "feature" which is why they removed it in the first place. I don't understand why they put it back.  It's not so bad since it's only required the first time I open the wallet on a given day, then the wallet stays unlocked all day.  It's just an unnecessary extra step.
