Just received notice of an update for the Gear S App for my Gear.
Will have to test it out once I get the chance.

I think they're two different things. Samsung Pay (for phones) was updated today and in the release notes it says it supports mobile payments. Two Samsung Gear apps got updates (compass and ?) but they aren't related to Pay.
So at some point in the near future I'd imagine Samsung Pay for Gear will appear in the Gear app store. There's nothing currently on the Gear S2 (at least my 3G version) to update relating to Samsung Pay so it'll have to be an app store download. Unless the new Wi-Fi Gear S2 update for the U.S. has Samsung Pay baked in.
I had hoped that today's USA S2 Wifi update was going to include the NFC tap-to-pay functionality.

Yeah...I realized also after that I got duped. I got really excited and was really looking forward to nfc payment support for the gear s2.

Samsung pay for gear s2 updated today
I just downloaded 2 different Samsung Pay USA apps for the gear S2, which noted the apps were pre-installed . Although after searching the watch, gear app, and gear app store there does not seem to be any such app still. I'm in Louisiana and have the standard sport (Bluetooth only) version.
hello new here I just bought the Samsung gear s2 and it says that I can get the Samsung pay app for it but when I try to type it I the gear store it doesn't show any where can some one please help?
thanks

Does it show Samsung pay through the settings page at the bottom of the gear app? That's were I was able to install samsung pay for my watch as it didn't show Samsung pay on the gear main page of the app when I got my watch and that's how I was able to install it.

I have lost all respect for Samsung lately. (Not just because of this issue but with many other of their products added into the frustration) I have been tweeting and emailing with them on this issue for two weeks and depending on who you talk to, you get a totally different answer. Last Friday I got an email from someone claiming to be a developer for Samsung and he said SP on the Gear S3 is supported in US, Australia and Canada. All I had to do was click on the SP app in the Gear Manager and it would install. I sent a reply and said the SP app is not present in the Gear App. There reply was SP is not supported in Canada. When I replied and said they were wrong and that I have my CIBC card registered with SP on my phone and that it works, they said a new version of Gear Manager is coming and we will be able to install SP on our watch at that time. I asked them when this will happen and they won't tell me!! I'm not sure any of the information they sent me is true!!
Hey guys! I've been trying to get this watch since the day it came out. It's nowhere to be found at Best buy or the Samsung website. How did you get your watches?
Sent from my Pixel XL using XDA-Developers mobile app
I pre-ordered on BestBuy site before release. Even got 10% discount - found discount code for pre-order on Android Central
Well once more banks get supported up here I'm sure samsung will push out a software update enabling samsung pay on the watches. I'm not fussing over it yet since my bank isnt supported yet.

The same problem!
I ordered a US gear S3; Samsung pay on the watch works here! I used APK extrator to pull the samsung pay app. Do any of you guys want to try it out? No guarantees that it'll work though but it's a try?

This app installs Samsung Pay into Gear Manager but not on the watch. If someone can get the app off the watch, we might be able to make this work.

Spay app is already on the watch. It comes pre-installed but gets enable/disable based on CSC.

Just wanted to know if you ever got his working? I'm a Canadian user with an S7 edge and I just sold my Canadian Gear S3 for the American version since I really wanted SPay on my watch.
Samsung Pay was also missing out of the box for me on the American Gear S3 but when I opened the Gear Manager Android app and went to Settings, there was a Samsung Pay icon. Tapping it then said, "Installing Samsung Pay", and it downloaded the following new Samsung Pay for Gear apk:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...msung-pay-gear-1-2-5202-android-apk-download/
I'd suggest trying the above apk. No clue why Samsung Pay wasn't in the watch OS out of the box.
I'm also curious to know if Canadian Gear S3 users can now use Samsung Pay in their watches with the above Apk? I believe it installs the corresponding Gear app. Not sure if it's the same apk previously posted. You also have to add your credit cards again in that app. It's different from the regular Android Samsung Pay phone app.
The US Gear S3 has an XML file that says to install SPay on the watch during installation. The same XML file says not to install SPay on other watches. If we could find a way to edit it, we would be in business

If it's an XML file that's only on US Gears, then shouldn't it work if we install a US rom on Canadian watches?

The XML file is on both watches but the US XML has different values. I would assume.installing a US ROM should fix the issue but not sure.

So today's update to Samsung pay on the Gear s3 has made it that my watch 's Samsung Pay not work anymore. When I launch it on my watch it says that it needs to update to work. When I press the update button, nothing happens. My guess is that it has to update the app in the galaxy store but since Samsung Pay is not officially out in Canada, it doesn't update. Anyone else who has an American Gear S3 with Samsung Pay have the same issue?

exact same issue here in the U.S. I have note 5, rooted of course with a working samsung pay on my gear s3 classic,
just today I tried using it to pay where I normally shop and it wouldn't work says it needed an update to continue, so I went ahead and click on the update but nothing happens
Hi,
I had officially (official Samsung reseller) bought my Galaxy S6 when I was living in Switzerland. I now live in UK.
Today I wanted to setup SPay so I have upgraded to Nougat and automatically Samsung installed the Samsung Pay app on my Galaxy S6 but i cannot for the love of god manage to find how to install it on my Gear S2. the option is simply NOT THERE.
Also I just realised that when I go in the Galaxy Apps it says "SamsunPay CH" ...
I have successfully added a UK card though.
I think this is why in my Gear S2 settings there is no option for Spay... because of the samsung Pay country version..
Can anybody tell me how to manually switch to SamsungPay UK ? Or can anyone give me the UK samsung pay apk I can try install it myself?
thank you

Would love a UK apk for Samsung Pay.

After searching it appears that clever samsung didn't actually release Samsung Pay for any Gears in the UK.
No ETA announced... this probably means never

You can find the apk online somewhere instead of installing the app from playstore.
Do a Google search for:
"SamsungPay.apk UK"
Then go to system settings>security and turn on "allow unknown sources"
Then manually install the app from the apk that you downloaded.

Even if you install the Samsung pay gear manually when you try to lunch it it says "This gear is not compatible"

Change the phone's CSC code to "UK" should be worth a try.
I have an S3 that it's working on, but i'm curious if I can install the app on my phone to be able to take advantage of promotions offered only from the app?? I found the apk and installed it, but it would not open.
When you pair a Samsung smartwatch or band Samsung manifests all the data required for the app to appear in the Play Store and work. So as a meatspace workaround you could buy an old, cheap Samsung wrist device that supports Pay and pair it.

I am using my gear S3 with a Google pixel 2 XL and am able to use the app on my phone. When you open the app in the Wear, it should prompt you to download the companion. I can't pay with my phone, but the promotions are available thru the Wear app
I am using my Gear S3 Frontier with a rooted OnePlus 6T and I am able to access the promotions through the Galaxy Wearable app and pay with Samsung Pay from my phone. I am able to use Samsung Pay by hiding the Samsung Play Watch plug-in in Magisk using Magisk Hide.
