Are there any pay apps that work with the s2 yet? I'm using the note edge so Samsung pay doesn't work.
Not to my knowledge. I am on Note 5 (just upgraded from 4) and still no Samsung Pay on watch.
I've got an OPO - was wondering what worthwhile paid apps I might be missing out on?
There's a couple in korea, public transit and such,.... But they are nothing that apply to other countries.
Interesting part is they work on any phone.
Wasn't samsung pay supposed to be available for the gear s2?

With the S2 having Tap & Pay (NFC) I was trying to get it to use Android Pay, but I can't figure this out. If the S2 is waiting for Samsung Pay, my S2 will be waiting awhile because I have a Note Edge on Verizon. Anybody get this to work?
I think Verizon is sending out an OTA update for Samsung Pay support. The other issue is waiting for Samsung to send out an update to the watch itself for Samsung Pay support.

I would be very surprised if the S2 supports Android Pay. I don't think it will happen considering Samsung has its own very good payment system. I've been using Samsung Pay for over a month now and it's great. I think Samsung Pay support for the S2 will be coming sometime in November.
I tried using my S2 at Walgreens where I've often used my Nexus 5 to pay. Had nfc turned on on S2, but it didn't work. Only tried it once, so no idea if it was a glitch, or isn't supported.

It won't work until Samsung issues the firmware update.
I don't have the link, but I read that Samsung Pay is not coming until November.
Why will it not work for Android Pay? Samsung Pay is great and all, but it was made for NFC & MTC and the S2 can only do NFC. do you think the Edge or s2 will get update to where you can choose?
I wish listed the Samsung Pay app but it doesn't work with my bank or Phone! thnks Samsung!!!

Easy. Imagine you made a great payment system. And imagine a company, competing with it. You also made an awesome watch that can handle mobile payments. Now think, will you work with competitor to setup a way to send payment data over bluetooth, over your own API to the watch, or are you going to do it to your own payment system, with your own engineers?
It's pointless for them to open it up to competitor. Yes, it will make sense from consumer standpoint, but not from manufacturer. Why open up to others, while you can just swing your userbase numbers around.
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.
I just setup Samsung Pay on my Gear S2 with Nexus 6P. Is there a way to join Samsung Rewards program without a samsung phone? I was thinking to enroll from a friend's Samsung phone. Once I set it up, am I still forced to use the pay app on a samsung phone to redeem rewards?
Good question. I also have a Gear S2 and a nexus 6p, and noticed that Samsung pay was now available thru gear manager. My wife has a galaxy s5 so I'll try enrolling in Samsung rewards on her phone and see if I get the rewards when I pay with my gear s2.

Quick question, do either of you guys have the S2 3G (Verizon) version?
interested to hear this outcome. I have an s7 and gear s2. Dont want to 'waste' a purchase using my s2.
I have used my gear s2 and S7 and both types of payments have shown up on my rewards points

Logging into samsung pay on my s7 doesn't seem to show any purchase info or rewards from what I have been doing with my Gear s3. I have the frontier on Tmobile so I don't have my phone connected all the time. I'm currently using it with the Honor 8. I'm going to try and sync my gear s3 with my s7 to see if somehow over Bluetooth it will sync the data as I have made many purchases with the watch over the past bit.
Just setup the Gear S Frontier on my GS7. Made a purchase and it updated my rewards. I lost all my rewards and history info though from when I was connected to my honor 8 (non Samsung phone). When connecting to a new phone the Gear S 3 does a light reset. I haven't done a purchase with the watch by itself and the phone at home but I'm assuming it will update once reconnected since it is now Syncing worth my "Samsung" phone and not my honor 8. If it doesn't I'll pay back here. Would seem awfully inconvenient if it would not do that and have to be connected at time of purchase. Would almost defeat the purpose from my point of view (with regards to rewards). You can only check your rewards in the S Pay app anyways so I guess it isn't surprising this doesn't work when the watch isn't setup with a qualifying Samsung device.
If anyone figures out a way to get rewards and your rewards card on the Gear s 3 please post.
I set up my Gear S3 and S7 and when I make a purchase with the watch, I don't get rewards points. I only get rewards points when I use the phone.
I currently have a Pixel 2 so Samsung Pay isn't an option for me but I want to get a Gear S3.
Can you use Paypal as your payment app with the Gear S3? I've looked everywhere and can't find an answer one way or the other.
No it doesn't work and only samsung pay is the only option for payment. Also you don't need a samsung phone to use samsung pay. If you live in a country were samsung works for the watch then you can use samsung pay as your payment with your pixel 2 just fine as samsung pay on the watch can work on non samsung phones. If your phone is rooted then there might be problems.
Samsung Pay works fine on my Pixel 2, even rooted with Magisk...
It's also way better than Apple or Android Pay

Following Samsung Pay on Galaxy phones in Germany, the support for Galaxy watch came recently. However, the list doesn't include Gear S3.
Did anyone figure out a way to make it work?
