Without speaking for you, is it the fact that it could be triggered accidentally (though rather unlikely) that makes you feel it’s less secure?
As far as the technology goes, it’s the same as using Apple Pay from your phone which is pretty secure. So the only difference I see is the lack of biometric with each instance of using your watch, though it does require your PIN or phones biometric each time it needs to be unlocked, it just effectively keeps that token until the watch is removed from your wrist.

I’d say an accidental triggering would be the least of your worries. Any bad actor could trigger your watch and transfer money directly from that card before you would know about it.

Pixel watch 2, not that it really matters as the point is valid with any that are even remotely secure.
Just curious to know which watch has that laborious of a process. No judgement here.
My Apple Watch is a double click and my default card pops right up. Ezpz.

I’d argue it’s also not as secure, not that many things are as secure as they should be.
