That did it! Thank you!
I can't figure out why Google is doing this. Seems strange to restrict use of payment cards meant to be used universally.

I tried using accessibility API to simulate taps on Enable button. It works fine on phone but unfortunately not on Wear. Everything except simulating input (at least clicks) works. I'm asking about this on G+ (Android Wear Developers).
However latest update v0.4 that I'm pushing right now checks for state of Google Pay in background (for a short while after Pay Enabler is started) and launches it once it's enabled. Tapping [Open] is no longer needed.

Thanks. Made my life easier with PayEnabler while stupid Google ruined my Huawei Watch 2 by stopping Google Pay in Oreo.
Tried to pay in supermarket, but couldnt find the Google Pay app suddenly in my watch. It was embarassing that it took me 3 minutes in the cashier to enable the Google Pay and many other customers behind me.

Man you are life saver after that back stabbing made by Google. Now I can pay with my smartwatch again. Thank you very much.
I got my watch today in Germany and installed the app from the Play Store. However, every time I open the app, it just redirects me to the Play Store which shows that Google Pay is currently not supported in my country. Any workaround for that?
Yes you need a Google Account from an country where Google Pay for Smartwatches is active. I have one from the US (created with VPN). You can add the second account without removing your normal one.
After that you should be able to activate it.

Your message inspried me
I'm in Hong Kong now, and I have an us google account, both local and US account all added in my LG watch sport google pay
so yesterday I switch google pay to my us account first, then added my previonsly successed VISA card, problem still exist, need to active pay enabler again and again for a while
but when I switch back to my original local google account, and added again for my previonsly used VISA card, problem seems solved!!
now already 24 hours passed, no need to active pay enabler again , google pay doesnt disppear any more
and also made a several transaction successfully.

Oh
sorry to say that:
after a long while, google pay finally disappeared, still need pay enabler for assistent to activate again.
Germany now officially got G.Pay, but no Watch-Pay!
It's installable from PlayStore - thus no VPN required?

Google Pay is officially supported on Wear OS in Germany according to https://support.google.com/pay/answer/7643998
I installed G. Pay from the store as usual to Watch, however Slovakia is still not in the list of supported countries.
App works as expected, payments were realized, but the app will disable itself when watch are not on hand, or over some time. Enabler in this regard work as a "shortcut" but in general... i dont see any reason why it should not work.

Hi
I live in Hungary and I tried to install your app but I couldn't enable it from store(isn't available in your country) so I deployed from source and used enableApp method. It works partially because the google pay icon is there and openable but it doesn't work because "Android Pay is unavailable".
I tried with vpn but doesn't work either. Do you have any ideas how could I make it work?
I have a LG Watch Sport with Wear OS 1.3 and Android 8.0.0
Thanks!
UPDATE:
It works, had to update Android Pay from play store on watch
UPDATE2:
So it seems, there are 2 activation methods in the source code and if your watch only have google pay(you're outside uk/us and never updated to google pay) you should activate that with the commented out method and after that you can update android pay in play store then deploy again but now with the original enabler method.

Thanks a lot for the update!
I just bought a Huawei Watch 2 and I was about to return it because in Ireland Google Pay it doesn't work yet
Even if especially with your latest update it's much more usable, I'm not sure if it's really worth it...
Is there no way of automating this somehow so when Play Services disable the app, your app re-enables it automatically?

23Android Pay stopped being officially supported/working on Android Wear (starting with the Oreo update) outside US/UK: https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...ate-disables-android-pay-users-outside-us-uk/ and https://support.google.com/androidwear/thread/26579
I created small proof of concept app that streamlines launching/enabling of Android Pay so even with it disabled, it will only take up to two additional taps to pay with Android Pay:
- Launch "Pay Enabler" (instead of Android Pay). If Android Pay is already enabled, Pay Enabler will just launch it directly.
- Tap "Enable" (not needed since version 5, requires Accessibility service)
- Tap "Open" (not needed since version 4)
Note 2: When connected to iOS, Play Store requires standalone connectivity (WiFi or cellular data) for enabling as it doesn't use caches (unlike when paired with Android).
Download
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brouken.wear.payenabler
Source: https://github.com/moneytoo/PayEnabler
They added few more countries but there is still dozen more countries affected.

Update 2018/11/19:
Uploaded Pay Enabler version 5 here to XDA (not on Play Store, yet). It uses Accessibility service to automate enabling of Google Pay, no more tapping "Enable". (Source is also available on Github.)
- Requires manual enabling in "Settings -> Accessibility -> Pay Enabler".
Works only with English - texts "Google Pay" and "Enable". Post texts in your languages and I will include them(That shouldn't be necessary as of version 5d which supports two dozens of languages - at least for the "Enable" button).- Accessibility service is registered only for Play Store so it shouldn't cause basically any battery drain (as it doesn't poll anything)
Update 2018/11/29:
Version 5 submitted to the Play Store.
Update 2018/12/16:
Version 6 fixes detection of the enable button in some non English languages (cs, fi, hi, ko, th).2
The app is compatible only with Android Wear devices running Android Oreo. You must either select your watch when installing from web or search for Pay Enabler in Play Store directly on your watch. It's standalone app for Android Wear and nothing gets installed elsewhere.2I tried using accessibility API to simulate taps on Enable button. It works fine on phone but unfortunately not on Wear. Everything except simulating input (at least clicks) works. I'm asking about this on G+ (Android Wear Developers).
However latest update v0.4 that I'm pushing right now checks for state of Google Pay in background (for a short while after Pay Enabler is started) and launches it once it's enabled. Tapping [Open] is no longer needed.1
This app is a good solution until Google finally fixes. Thank you!

It's really annoying as that was the only reason I went with Wear OS over Samsung as Samsung Pay isn't supported by my bank. Now there's no real advantage to having Wear as most of the apps suck, battery sucks, and it's running a laggy processor. I don't understand why Google officially made Pay available for the phone but not the watch. I don't understand how the treat them completely different as it couldn't be a legal thing as it's just a different device. With Samsung pay, if it's available on the phone then it's automatically available on the watch.
