It’s not particularly popular (relatively):

I will probably switch to Starling because it supports Garmin, Fitbit, Google, Samsung and Apple. It’s been almost a year now and Monzo doesn’t even have any plans to support Fitbit and Garmin Pay
I think Monzo is warming to the idea, but if you’re desperate for it - and it outweighs any other advantages of Monzo - then you should absolutely move.
Out of interest, which of the Pays would you be most keen on?

According to this, Garmin Pay was less than 5% of global ‘wearables’ shipments (it’s the yellow bar, not even visible in 2018 data). Wouldn’t hold your breath?
To be fair though Garmin Pay is on only a small subset of Garmin devices

So it’s even less than that? Makes sense.
It’s still niche in the Garmin range, mainly at the high end of the range, and only 3% of the global market of watches.
Fitbit Pay would be the more obvious next step

It’s a really weird situation.
Just checked https://www.garmin.com/en-GB/garminpay/banks/
10 months since last time.
All the major Russian banks are in.
In UK only
- Cornèrcard: VISA
- Danske Bank: MASTERCARD
- Santander: MASTERCARD
- Santander: VISA
- Starling Bank: MASTERCARD
- boon. by Wirecard: MASTERCARD
I think Russia has quite good engineers, but still - such a huge difference.
Data seems to be behind a paywall.
How about UK market share? Perhaps more relevant to Monzo.
I would assume low cost Chinese manufacturers (e.g. Xioami) make a bigger relative impression on worldwide wearable market than UK market.
Odd it wasn’t behind a paywall when I grabbed the link.
Hard to get UK market share for free as it’s always a subset of Global units. That said it won’t wildly differ, as those low cost manufacturers are just as available as the more established names. Some of my friends have low cost wearables.
Me? I’m an Apple Watch user so I’m good! 
I’m not so sure about Garmin pay. Up until now I thought they were the people that made those GPS things. I didn’t know they did watches. And I didn’t know they had a payment thing. As people rush to make the most of the web of today (and the future), I wonder how many niche companies will launch a niche payment network, and how many people will use them and how much time it will take to implement them all. I just can’t stop thinking of the overall numbers involved in this. Is it really worth doing Garmin Pay? Have to say that with the world’s heaviest heart but… if everyone is going to start doing micro payment networks, I can’t see it being viable to work with all of them.
Whats the percentage for Samsung pay?
No idea sorry. It’s now hidden behind a paywall.
