It gives customers a cheaper alternative to Samsung’s flagship smartwatches, but it’s an odd duck.
This announcement left me dumbfounded.
The Galaxy Watch FE’s hardware is identical to that of theGalaxy Watch 4.
Samsung
The Galaxy Watch FE launches with One UI 5, which arrived on the Galaxy Watch 4 last year.
And, for those wondering, the Galaxy Watch FE doesn’t have a rotating bezel.
This feels like a very old-school approach to smartwatches.
I should also note that arefurbished Galaxy Watch 4currently sells for less than $100.
The only problem is that the Galaxy Watch 4 will stop receiving updates in 2026.
TheGalaxy Watch FElaunches on June 24th with prices starting at $200.
An LTE variant will arrive in October for $250.
Samsung has only announced a 40mm size, so don’t hold your breath for a 44mm model.
