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.

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?

I picked up a GS3 frontier while visiting the US. It has Samsung Pay pre loaded. I cannot get it to work because, it will not recognize my Canadian address? Any solutions?

Thank you! Is it necessary to have any connection between Samsung pay on smartphone and Samsung pay on SG3? I have S7 edge SM-935F and Samsung Pay doesn't work in Canada although I flashed it with German DBT Firmware. I don't know why because some people wrote that it should work, but it is another problem. Could you clarify please, will Samsung pay on SG3 work without any connection with Samsung pay in smartphone?

I'm sorry for meticulousness ). Does Gear Manager add card to Samsung pay on smartphone or directly to Samsung pay on SG3? In other words, is Samsung pay on SG3 able to work without Samsung pay on Smartphone?

I am told that SP works with rooted phones so the answer to your question would be yes, SP on the watch should work without SP on your phone. The issue you need to address is, does the Gear S3 that you own have the SP app already installed? Not all Gear S3's come with the app installed. At this time, only US, Australia and Singapore watches come with it pre-installed. My Canadian watch does NOT have this installed. There is no way that I am aware of that you can*sideload it either. At least I haven't figured it out.

You can pay with a watch without samrtphone, but add a card in watch will not work without a smartphone.
Sorry for my bad english.
Can your extract the samsung pay from your watch so the rest of us can sideload it?
Newbie here, but I'm looking to buy a refurbished GS3 Frontier that's been factory reset. The watch is in US, and I'm in Canada (yes, I'm polite too ). Will the watch work in Canada? I'm running on 4G/LTE from Public Mobile on my S7 Edge.

Hello agian,
I tried to get my samaung pay to work, pressing the back button for 1 to 2 seconds, did not work, I don't have the samsung pay on the gear app either. I am assuming I have the international version as I dont live in the US or Asia so is it that? Or the fact that I don't have Samsung's phone?
Will the international ever get it? I was completely unaware that my unit might not have samsung pay. Cheers.
I think the international version may be gimped intentionally and might not ever support SPAY.
Is it possible to install the samsung pay app on the gear s3 international version? Do you know if it works? Or it first chech the CSC of the device before running to make sure its a supported country version?
Samsung gear s3 India will get Samsung pay in few days which i assume is an International version
officially lauched on march 22nd, but yet waiting for update. they said a week or two.
watch this youtube video. sorry, i cannot paste url. so i am just pasting the code.

Hi all.
I'm thinking about buying a Gear S3 Frontier. I'm currently using a rooted S7 Edge that does not pass the Safetynet stuff, and SPay won't run on the phone either - I get advised that the phone is locked out of SPay.
My question is: Will I still be able to use SPay on the Gear via the Samsung Gear app, or will I be locked out of using SPay on the watch as well?
Thanks.
I am using it and it's working fine on my rooted S8 plus. You have to run magisk to root and hide the Samsung pay apps plus remove sign of busybox from xbin folder.
Hey, sorry about the delayed reply, I don't recall getting a notification of a response to my post.
So you're using Samsung Pay on your Gear S3 without a problem, with the Samsung Pay native app on the phone not working?

I can't use SPay on the phone, it says the app is locked due to "unauthorised modification" etc...
Yes Samsung pay is working great on my S3 but not on my phone because it's rooted (S8 plus).

Nice. So you add cards via the Gear app I assume? Is there any functionality that isn't there?
Sorry for the questions, I don't own a Gear S3 yet (currently using a Pebble Time Steel) and don't really have a reason to change at this stage unless SPay works well on the S3.
Thanks!
As far as I can see I get full functionality, I can add cards from the gear app I guess it's totally separate from the Spay for the phone. It's really good paying with the watch very convenient.

Awesome. Thanks for your help!
Heheh so here's the issue now... the Gear S3 I bought is an HK version. Pay doesn't appear to be enabled on the watch. I installed a sideloaded version of the SPay plugin for Gear but when I run it, it says I need an HK SIM card in my phone to install Pay.
I think I can get one of these (an HL travel SIM should work) but I don't know if it will only work with that SIM installed, or if I can just "activate" SPay and then add my cards in afterwards.
Another complication might be that even if I can do this, the fact that my credit card is Australian and not HK might cause a problem as well *sigh*
Thoughts?
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
