While Samsung is yet to make an official announcement regarding the Galaxy Watch FE, its arrival is all but confirmed. The watch has already surfaced in official renders and on Samsung’s support page itself. Now, Samsung has accidentally confirmed it (yet again!) by listing the Galaxy Watch FE on its official website.
The wearable was spotted on an intriguing promo offer in Belgium where users can get a free Galaxy Watch FE when they buy a Galaxy S24, S24+, or S24 Ultra with a subscription plan from Orange or VOO before June 30. This is somewhat surprising as Samsung hasn’t officially announced the Galaxy Watch FE yet.
The low-key approach aligns with the company’s typical Fan Edition (FE) marketing strategy. They primarily serve as a way to clear out older stock by repackaging existing models with a lower price point.
The Galaxy Watch FE, based on leaks, appears to be a mere rebranding of the three-year-old Galaxy Watch 4. It’s unlikely to offer any upgrades or unique features if you’re expecting some.
The FE will retain the circular design, AMOLED display, and most other features of the Watch 4, but there may be some differences in aspects like battery. We’ve talked about all the possible changes in our dedicated comparison article of Galaxy Watch FE vs Galaxy Watch 4, be sure to check it out!
Most importantly, the listing — accidental or not — suggests that Samsung will release the Galaxy Watch FE ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked event next month, rumored to be on July 10.
The promo campaign of the Watch FE with Galaxy S24 pre-orders is valid until the end of June, so we can expect it to launch in the last week of June or the first week of July.
