Buying a Galaxy Watch in Korea?

Hi,
I'm planning to buy a Galaxy Watch in Korea, to use in France, because I'll have the opportunity to buy it for much cheaper over there.
I've read in forums about older Samsung watches that Samsung Pay might be region-locked. Is it true for the Galaxy Watch too? Is there a way to hack it to change the region, and change a Korean watch to a European one?

I think it is eloisant. I have a chinese version bought from Todydeals online and samsung pay is missing. When I press in the back button nothing happens and in settings is says there is no payment softwear installed. Please could someone give me instructions for how to change it to UK version if this is the fix. Cheers

no samsung pay on US version
i have model SM-R820 and haven't been able to find the samsung pay app. I have tried a few things, like updating OS, resetting the phone, but no luck getting app on my Galaxy Active 2 watch. Any ideas?

If I buy a Galaxy S9 today (the T-Mobile version), will I be able to root it?

Hello!
I am considering buying a Galaxy S9 today. I want to keep it on Oreo if possible due to wanting to use GravityBox. However, it is the T-Mobile version of the phone. Does this make a difference? I know with the Google Pixel you cannot unlock the bootloader if it is the Verizon version of the phone. Was just wondering if this is the case here with the T-Mobile version of the Galaxy S9. Thanks so much in advance.

Can't root any american s9's.

Welp Samsung just lost my business

You can root the european ones though, you can find them on ebay easily.

I'm in the US and my Exynos S9 came in the mail today and it already has the Pie update and will be rooted as soon as I get home. I recommend everyone buy the Exynos versions when possible.

FM Suddenly available... NO ROOT

Should i have pushed the A5 and S8 more?
I am not done.
Good start and unexpected.
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.
I appreciate your time taken for reporting the discontinuity of FM radio function on the Samsung phones.
As you know that all the Canadian variant Samsung phones do not come with built-in FM radio app, but the radio feature can be used through the downloaded apps. After the recent software update on Galaxy A8, the option to use the FM radio even with downloaded apps is unavailable.
However, it should be resolved in the next software update to this model. Please keep an eye on updates about software schedules posted in Samsung Members app for more information.
Please feel free to contact us anytime for assistance on Samsung products.
Thank you for being a Samsung Customer.
Kind Regards,

Change the region on a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active

Hello, since I haven't found any post with the instructions to change the region on this watch, I decided to create an account and give it a go and try if anyone could help me.
I bought this watch active on Amazon and it's supposed to be the Germany variant, and I can't use the Samsung pay due to that region limitation, is there any chance of changing the region to Spain and use Samsung Pay, if so, I would be grateful for your help, thank you!
Model: SM-R500 (074F)
One UI 1.5
Tizen 4.0.0.7
Software version: R500XXU1DSL1

Did you found something about it?

Samsung pay

Hello i changed my Samsung Active 2 region on Korea. The change was fine and I just got updated to Vomax and ECG. But I dont have Samsung Pay app in the watch or the possibility of installing Samsung Pay in Samsung Wearable.i tryed to install Plug In from Google Play But I can't install it because of SIM card (registered in the country where Samsung Pay isnt supported). Does anyone know how to install Samsung Pay?

Hi, Samsung Pay is a feature available on the watch so there's no need to install it. And with Samsung's policy, Samsung Pay is only activated in certain countries such as the US, Canada, Australia, ... but there is no Korea even though Samsung is in Korea. I also moved CSC to Korea to receive tizen 4.0.0.8 for the LTE version and ECG worked, besides there is no Samsung Pay. So if you want to have SS Pay, you will need to change CSC to a country with SS Pay enabled

I have a Galaxy Watch 46mm made in Vietnam. I suspect that the CSC is preventing me from installing and using Samsung Pay on it. Anyone have the files need to flash it and set to Australia?

answer of my question from other topic may be close to you

Hi guys, after being some time without Galaxy Watch 46mm I purchased it again and my question is - is there a possibility to change the CSC region and to use Samsung Pay safely? I am asking this question because I know that previously that was OK, but after some updates it was not possible anymore. So is it possible now? and if yes is there any new and/or updated guidance? I will much appreciate your help. Thank you!
