Woow, so usefull information. Can i use every machine (the usual machine we use to top up card) to top up the apple watch? Or there is special machine?
@AutomationFixation
@AutomationFixation 7 месяцев назад
Hi, you can use any machine that has an IC reader. There may still be some older machines around that might not accept IC cards, however generally in the big cities, you will be able to find one and you can hold it up to the reader if there isn't a bay.

Thanks for making the video, do you know if apple watch se 2022 will work? On the apple site, they only say series 3 or above.
@AutomationFixation
@AutomationFixation Год назад
Not a problem. Per the Apple site support.apple.com/en-us/HT207154 (which I think you have already seen) it has some further details on compatibility but doesn't mention the SE 2002. Given the SE 2002 is fairly recent, I would be surprised if it doesn't work. You can still try the steps in my video and create one without adding any money to see if it can be done.

Great video. So we have to make sure the balance is sufficient correct? Say I am charged 3000, but I only have 1000 in the card so I need to fulfill 2000 first to be able to pay?
@AutomationFixation
@AutomationFixation Год назад
Hi, that's a great question and I have never had to do this. There are "Fare Adjustment Machines" (乗り越し精算) which allow you to top-up IC cards from inside the gates. You may run into issues if it is an older style machine that only allows IC cards to be inserted, but I believe there are newer ones that allow you to place the card (or a watch/phone) to top up in a similar way to what I did from outside the gates. Worst case, you can find a friendly staff member to help you out and there will be a solution :)

@hoodhunter3262 Год назад
this video you demonstrated Suica card. Is your Suica registered/unregistered/or the welcome Suica card version. Will Welcome Suica be able to apple wallet?
@AutomationFixation
@AutomationFixation Год назад
Yes, you can transfer across registered cards, however, while I haven't tried, I don't think the "Welcome Suica" would work. The "Welcome Suica" allows you to take advantage of some discounts, but it also expires after 28 days (with no refunds) and therefore you will forfeit the money on the card. I'd recommend just activating a new Suica through the wallet app.

Hi, thanks for the video. I'm planning to go to japan next month. So the best way are: - add suica with apple pay first while in my country while using VISA - and then after arrive in japan just continue top up / recharge using the station machine Correct ?
@AutomationFixation
@AutomationFixation 9 месяцев назад
Hi, good luck with your trip! So, with a VISA card, you will likely face the errors that others are finding with Apple Pay restrictions on foreign VISA cards. As you may have already heard, due to the worldwide semiconductor shortage, physical suicas are no longer being sold.. this leaves you with a few options 1) try topping up with a non-VISA card 2) try and get a tourist Suica at the airport (which has limitations including a 28 day expiry) or 3) using paper based tickets instead If you were able to top up initially, then you can follow the steps noted in the video.
@MrSkyerHawkins
@MrSkyerHawkins Год назад
Do you recommend having this set up for first time travelers to Japan?
@AutomationFixation
@AutomationFixation Год назад
Hi, having a Suica card is very useful while travelling. You can use it for trains and buses and not worry about buying the right priced ticket and not needing to keep as much money/coins to buy smaller things, etc. Having it set up on your phone/watch before getting there (even if you can't top it up) will save a bit of time and stress when you first need to use it.

How do I use the digital suica on my iphone? Do I just hold it near the IC card reader or do I need to tap some button on the phone to use the suica? No one mentions how to actually use it.
@AutomationFixation
@AutomationFixation 3 месяца назад
Yes, you can hold it up to the IC reader. If you want to speed this up (and not need to unlock it) you can go into the card from the wallet and find the "Express Travel" option and turn this on. Express travel will then work automatically when you hold it to the reader without requiring face id/passcode. Apple also notes the card may also be available when the iPhone needs to be charged, but I have not tried this!

Great video. Q: Are you (how) able to get the remaining balance back?
@AutomationFixation
@AutomationFixation Год назад
Great question and have never tried with the iPhone version. The process is a bit complex and requires the Suica app and a Japanese bank account. You also need to pay a 220 yen fee... so unless the balance is huge, then you might as well use as much as possible at a Conbini, a store that accepts Suica or a vending machine.

Hi, not all kiosks have the IC capabilities, so you will need to look for the IC symbol. Large or newer stations should have newer kiosks and Japan likes to keep these upgraded!

Is there any way to add the card to the wallet without transferring an existing card or using Apple Pay? (I only have VISA.) tried charging it at 7/11 but I can’t use cash to charge it since it’s not in my wallet yet
@AutomationFixation
@AutomationFixation 8 месяцев назад
Hi, since making this video, I have thought of a couple of other ways around this. You could use a travel prepaid card by Mastercard or another way is to install the Suica app and use your VISA to charge. It seems that the Suica app (only available in the Japanese App Store, so you’ll need to create a new App Store account for Japan) does not have the same VISA restrictions.

Hi, thanks for watching. Yes, you can also top up at 7-11. There are a couple of ways either through a staff member and asking for "Suica Charge" and then explaining the amount (I think units are in 1000 yen). Alternatively, if you have difficulties explaining in English/Japanese, you can use the 7-11 ATM and select the Suica Charge option (look for the IC / Nanaco / Edy symbols).
