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.

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.
Got my note 7 today, and went to setup Samsung pay on my gear s2.. it seems like there is a version of the tpk preinstalled that does not get updated when installing the gear s2 Samsung pay app, so when you go to use Samsung pay on the gear s2 it constantly tells you that it needs to update ... hoping it's fixed soon, tried resetting the gear we didn't work
I assume you have the non 3g version of the s2, correct? I have the 3g version but am not able to use Samsung Pay on it yet.

Same issue here. Using At&t note 7 android ver 6.0.1 and the gear s2 classic (non 3g) samsung pay throws an app error.
Error Product does not exist in this store (2316:4004).
This error can be replicated by holding the back key on the gear s2. Samsung pay will prompt you to look at your mobile device and a video begins to play on it. During the video "Update Samsung Pay" appears. When you update it the error is thrown.

Yes, using Wi-Fi variant it was working fine on my s7 edge, not working at all on note 7, just keeps asking me to update. When you look at installed applications on the gear it shows Samsung pay twice, so my best guess is that one is up to date and the other is not, when you go to use it, it's probably checking version on the non updated TPK, then forwards you to the update and says you are already up to date because of the updated version. The solution is most likely to get rid of the old version, but it is not uninstallable
Fixed?
I had this problem as well. I'm on Verizon with Galaxy Note 7 and have a non-3g Bluetooth only classic gear S2. I just opened pay on my watch a few minutes ago, it opened the app on the phone, got the usual update message, so I hit update as I have tried every day since I got the phone last Thursday, and to my surprise, it actually worked this morning. :good: After it was updated, I closed the app on the phone, and re-initiated pay on my watch, and the app on the phone opened and the "Start" option was finally there, and I was able to add my card details. So now the trick will be to see if the pay actually works whenever I try to make a purchase.

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
I bought my Gear S2 from a company called eGlobal which is a grey importer. I thought all was well until I tried to install Samsung Pay on it. I've read on other forums that these imported Gear S2s won't install Samsung Pay. So...
1) Is there a way of forcing Samsung Pay to install in this situation?
Or
2) Is there a way of installing the proper Australian ROM onto the Gear S2, which would the presumably allow Samsung Pay to install?

I'm in the same boat, Kogan.com are selling the Gear S2 Classic with the international version. Thus I cannot get Spay or my bank's NFC apps as they are restricted to Australian devices only
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.
