The latest Samsung smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch FE, was fully unveiled through a series of official-looking images and detailed specifications that surfaced online a few hours ago. After weeks of speculation and name debates, Bluetooth SIG officially certified the smartwatch under the Galaxy Watch FE, resolving the ongoing controversy about its title.
Originally speculated to be a rebranded Galaxy Watch4, the new Galaxy Watch FE shares many specifications with its 2021 counterpart, suggesting a strategic relaunch rather than a completely new design. Samsung has opted for continuity in its product lineup without explicitly marketing the device as a direct successor to the Galaxy Watch4.
The pricing details, the last piece of the puzzle following the earlier leaks, have also been disclosed. A tipster on the social platform X revealed that the Galaxy Watch FE is set to retail for €199 in the Eurozone. This price may vary slightly in the U.S. market, typically lower but not exceeding $199.
In a promotional move in France, Samsung offers a free Galaxy Watch FE by purchasing a Galaxy S24, S24+, or S24 Ultra, coupled with an Orange plan, until June 30. This strategy not only boosts the new smartphone line’s appeal but also suggests that the Galaxy Watch FE could be hitting the market ahead of the anticipated Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra, which are expected to be announced on July 10.
With its competitive pricing and strategic launch promotions, the Galaxy Watch FE is positioned to appeal to a broad audience and align with Samsung’s broader market strategies.
