I recently purchased a gear s2 classic from swappa.com The device has activation lock on it. Since it is the verizon version, it is my understanding the other methods of removing this lock don't work with this model. (Like the guy on youtube that charges $40)
I contacted samsung and they said if we are unable to obtain the samsung account info and remove the device, you have to email them a receipt, and then mail in the watch to have the lock removed.
Does anyone know of any other options for the r735V verizon gear s2 classic?
Thanks!

Did you guys have to install Samsung Pay on your watches? I can't find it on the watch and I can't find it in the store. I have it on my phone and have cards registered so why not the watch?
I don't see in Gear Manager either. It's the entire reason for this watch. It's going back to the store if Samsung Pay isn't happening or if Android Pay comes out first.

I called Samsung Pay support and they told me Samsung Pay isn't available in Canada. I told them they were incorrect as I have it on my phone already. I don't think he believed me but his comment was, we will see it in Canada when Samsung Pay is available??? I said, then it should be there already.
Since Samsung Pay already works in Canada, there should be a way to get it installed manually on the Gear S3.
Can someone with Samsung Pay on their Gear S3 extract the installer?

This issue is strictly location based. My phone is actually an AT&T G935A phone. It is unlocked, not rooted. I have it because I travel a lot into the US. I have a valid AT&T SIM and Canadian Roger SIM. I have installed the AT&T SIM and tried to reinstall Gear Manager and it still won't install Samsung Pay. During install, Gear Manager asks for permission to determine your location. If you deny it, Gear Manager won't initialize. My next trip to the US, I will try it again and see if Samsung Pay installs.
I tweeted SamsungPay and asked why we can't use SamsungPay with our Gear S3 in Canada. There response was that Canada is currently trialing SamsungPay and will get access to our S3's when it is officially released in Canada. I was not aware my access to CIBC was only a trial.
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 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 searched and didn't see anything on this. My favorite watch faces on my Gear S2 Classic aren't available anymore in the Galaxy App store. Unfortunately, the Samsung account I bought them under got accidentally deleted (and I lost all my Samsung Pay reward points, too).
The faces still back up to my S2 under my new account, but when I use that backup to restore the S3, the particular ones I want don't load. I contacted the dev and offered to buy them again, bet he said he could not help.
Is there any way to get these faces from the S2, and put them on the S3? Thanks for any help.
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?
