Samsung Pay is officially announced in India and works on selected Galaxy Devices. I got my Gear S3 frontier from US and decided to try Samsung Pay on my watch. To my surprise, Samsung Pay on Gear S3 works perfectly fine and accepts Indian Card. I tried HDFC Debit Card and my friends's ICICI Bank Credit Card and it works perfectly fine. Samsung Pay is working with some POI's with Gear S3 and for other POI's , the machine says International Card not supported.
I guess the International card not supported error will go once Samsung officially updates Samsung Pay app for Gear to work with Indian Cards.
Update (04/07/2016): The update to Samsung Pay for Gear app (Version: 1.3.1703) , nowdoesn't works on rooted devices. In other words rooting your device will break Samsung Pay. If credit/debit card is already (using older version of app) added then still payments can be made with watch.
Update (23/11/2017): @adfree @Quick Silver, @aslam4580 have found a new method to run Spay on Gear S3 (any region). The method is tested and is working for many users. Head over to post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74602496&postcount=290 for instructions.
New cards can't be added on rooted devices
DON'T UPDATE SAMSUNG PAY APP FOR GEAR IF YOU WANT TO USE SPAY ON ROOTED DEVICES
Workaround: Use magisk hide to continue using spay app on rooted devices.
