Garmin Pay Compatibility with Garmin UK Devices?

I've ordered a Garmin Fenix 6S from Amazon UK, does anyone know if I will be able to use Garmin Pay here in Australia?

I tried to get Ryda.com to price match, but they said they couldn't as it is not Australian stock and further added that features such as Garmin Pay will not work.

Can anyone share some experience with this? Thank you

    • Awesome, I use an ANZ card with an Australian Epix and that works fine, hoping it won't be an issue on the UK fenix.

      Do you have any UK garmin devices as well?

    when you get the watch maybe visit their store find the guy/girl who said the above, buy the cheapest item and use your garmin and pretend to be surprised that it works

    Maybe it's just me but why on earth anyone want to get sucked into 3rd payment platform besides Apple and Google. Can't wait until the day those middlemen got cannibalised. Even Google and Apple are bad enough for the market.

    • For me, its just the convenience of being able to pay with my watch when I don't have my phone or wallet with me, which is quite often when exercising outdoors.

        ^This! Nothing like going for a long run with nothing to carry but your watch. Then you might want to smash down some Gelato, grab brunch or some stuff via the supermarket. Pretty useful.
