@isazi Netherlands is not on the liste of supported countries for Wear OS unfortunately.

@aleksander-h but I do not understand why it does not work even on my phone
Anyway, maybe we need a GPay thread.
-
@isazi Ah, right!
A google pay thread probably makes sense at this point . Anyone know why they differentiate between android and wear os in terms of supported countries? Seems weird to me.

Actually, are you sure you are trying to install the correct app? The new Google Pay app is only available in a few countries. Other countries, such as here in Norway, you have to download the one called âGoogle Pay (old app)â.

@aleksander-h Google being Google

Its weird, but just because google pay on the phone works, doesnât mean you can also use it on your watch.
Only officially supported countires for wear os GPay work from watch.Been a lot of discussion around this, with the main thing being it doesnât seem to be a bank issue based on some of the replies people have received back from their bank - issue seems to be on google side.
Google arenât saying but from bits that have been pieced together it seems to be a security reason - i suspect probably regulatory/legal concerns preventing it. but who knows maybe it costs money and google donât think the demand is there. -

@bulkan Not sure this makes much difference in real terms.
Suunto already have tiles & the ability to jump into the Suunto workout diary etc.
So - all this change is really going to benefit is potential enhancement for any 3rd party apps?
-
@nigel-taylor-0 it might mean that its now easier to create tiles than before, which might increase the likelihood of us getting more Suunto tiles.
-
@aleksander-h - would agree on that. Would be nice to have a daily tile with sleep tracking, Daily HR- loads of tiles that I can think of.
Plus suunto could now add those via playstore, instead of having to publish via firmware.But would love to see more from google for calendar/ agenda/ reminders.
Think of Garmin eco system - effectively tiles.
-
@jamie-bg The suunto app gets delivered via firmware doesnât it? Iâm guessing its quite well baked into the firmware to prevent people from extracting the apk and installing it on non-Suunto devices. If Iâm not mistaken, the tiles themselves follow the app they belong to.
-
@aleksander-h itâs no problem to install e. g. the watch faces on any other WearOS watch.
-
@pilleus Iâve seen watch faces get mentioned. Never heard of anyone managing to move the Suunto app over though.
-
@aleksander-h you can extract the app, install it on another watch, a library is missing to run it. For a developer it should be no problem to fix this.
-
@aleksander-h - true it is baked in, but if it has API (like I suspect it does) you can probably pull tile data for it.
And when you publish it on playstore you can limit it to model as well as country, so you could limit to suunto watches only.But yes like anything in android, if you have enough dev skills its possible to pull stuff from apk/firmware and install it another watch, and while you could probably due that for suunto app, I suspect it may crash/not work properly due to what is built into the firware (thinking of power tilt saver for example as you are unlikely to pull that - thinking of how the suunto app, and other bits are integrated/adjusted from standard firmware, and based on this I would think you would have to flash the whole firmware onto the other watch to prevent crashed, and am not sure how feasible this would be due to potential built in to preventions.

We know if suunto 7 will come with 4100+ chip in the near future?
