If you bought a Gear S2 so you could buy things with Samsung Pay while your smartphone stays snug in your pocket, you’re going to have to wait a little while for that dream to become a reality.

Samsung has delayed the launch of Samsung Pay for the Gear S2 until next year for users in the U.S., leaving them without one of the watch’s biggest selling points for at least another month.
