    I've been using Huawei Gt2 for the last few months. Might go back to the fossil if Google pay is now supported.
    Is it dependant on which bank you're with?

    Have got pay working without updating software, from what I can see its a server side update and if this is the case, should work on any wear os watch with NFC

    No once a bank works with Google pay, it will work on wear os

    there is also some (recent) update if you check updates in settings -> system -> about-> update but obviously not required for pay

    not sure when it dates from but must be recent enough as I think that I checked it a while ago

    Could be that it might launch officially soon

    yes pay icon gone from the shortcuts menu

    must have been some sort of test

    it's coming though
    Google Pay on Wear OS will also be expanded to support 37 countries and more than 200 transit systems around the world. Google’s goal is to have it supported as well as it is on phones. The new countries include the United Arab Emirates, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Brazil, Chile, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Ireland, Lithuania, Latvia, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Sweden, Taiwan, and Ukraine. This expansion will roll out in late May/early June.

    also but assume that fossil gen 4 won't get this...? or will it
    Despite the tumultuous last few years for the smartwatch platform, Google remains committed to Wear OS and smartwatches in general. During its Google I/O 2021 keynote, the company announced a long-overdue update to Wear OS, which should be coming to existing smartwatches later this year.

    ....

    Performance on the new Wear OS will be improved. Apps should launch up to 30% faster than they do on the current build of Wear OS. That’s great news, considering app performance is another one of Wear OS’ pain points.

    I imagine that Fossil gen 4 won't be updated as Fossil have already stopped supporting it

    Unless custom roms start coming to wear os or something - unlikely.
    Kilburn didn't confirm what chipsets these watches will have, though. "We're very focused on using the latest chipsets for wearables. And a lot of the choices around what chipsets are actually used will be down to The OEM's choice," he said. Also, not all Wear OS watches may make the leap to these next-gen and more premium-sounding features and software. "Whether those existing devices get upgraded or not, will be a function of a few different things. It will depend on whether the hardware itself can support the upgrade, and it will be a function of whether the OEM chooses to do the upgrade," said Kilburn.
