Samsung Galaxy Watch FE
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch FE is its budget-conscious wearable. Designed to rival Apple’s more reasonably-priced watches, its purpose is to compete for customers seeking more affordable alternatives.
This watch features an elegant OLED screen and sturdy metal bezel that doubles as an action button.

Samsung Galaxy Watch FE 1. Powered by Android Wear
The Samsung Galaxy Watch FE runs Android Wear, so you’ll enjoy all its benefits – such as third-party apps, Google Fit support, customization settings and reordering quick panel and app tiles, Find My Watch tools, software updates and more. The application also enables software updates.
If you own multiple Galaxy Watches, using the app to switch between them is also convenient and music from your phone can sync automatically with FE.
Another significant change is the elimination of a rotating bezel; now, users can navigate apps and notifications using only touchscreen controls.
The features on the Galaxy Watch FE aren’t as expansive as those found on its counterparts – the Galaxy Watch 5 and 6. Instead, it won’t provide comprehensive health and fitness tracking like those watches do, although niche upgrades such as skin temperature sensor support for runners may make this watch appealing. Bixby, Samsung’s voice assistant is included to answer questions about weather, start workouts or respond to text messages.Samsung Galaxy Watch FE
Samsung Galaxy Watch FE 2. Bluetooth
The Galaxy Watch FE is equipped with Bluetooth technology and allows for connectivity to your smartphone, enabling calls, text messages, scores/headlines/playlists access. In addition, connected home devices like smart lights or security cameras can be controlled from this wearable.Samsung Galaxy Watch FE
The Samsung Galaxy Watch FE is expected to follow in the footsteps of the original Galaxy Watch 4, offering similar health and fitness features. While some advanced sensors such as skin temperature monitoring were removed in later models, you should still find an extensive suite of exercise tracking and wellness tools on this new watch.
The Galaxy Watch FE should feature a smaller battery than the Watch 4, as well as likely lower costs, which might mean it lasts less time on a single charge, though you should still get several days without needing to charge again. Furthermore, an earlier version of Samsung’s Exynos chipset could be utilized instead of its more modern W930 used by Galaxy Watch Ultra and 6 in order to reduce costs further.Samsung Galaxy Watch FE
Samsung Galaxy Watch FE 3. Water-resistant
Samsung’s Watch series of smartwatches are known for their durable build and advanced fitness features, yet their latest smartwatch, Galaxy Watch FE could bring even more impressive capabilities at a lower cost point than before.
The Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 Classic both boast an IP68 rating for water resistance, meaning they can withstand being submerged up to 1.5 meters of freshwater for 30 minutes without incurring damage to their devices. That makes them suitable for wearing while washing dishes, showering, or out in the rain without fear of ruining them!
As with any device involving liquid, smartwatch users must still exercise caution when handling water or other liquids near their smartwatch. Manufacturer’s guidelines must be observed for maximum device lifespan; regular inspection of seals and ports to check for cracks or any signs of damage is highly advised. Furthermore, avoid exposure of your Galaxy Watch to seawater, strong chemicals or any corrosive liquids as this could damage its internal components and lead to short circuiting resulting in water entering through any holes or ports on its device.
Samsung Galaxy Watch FE 4. Heart rate monitor
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch series provides a variety of health-tracking tools, including ECG with Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification and blood pressure monitoring. However, for those wanting an easier way to track their heart rate without the hassle of wearing a chest strap, an enhanced sensor has been included with their latest models.
Once enabled, your watch’s sensors will monitor heart rate and other vital signs and send this data periodically back to your mobile device for display in mobile apps through its MessageClient API of Wearable Data Layer SDK (formerly Wear OS Data Layer).
To take an ECG reading, place your wrist over the sensor and tap Start on your Watch’s display. Your result should appear shortly thereafter; for an accurate reading make sure your watch is positioned properly on your wrist and use Body Composition feature to get more precise measure of body fat and skeletal muscle percentages; these measurements should only be used as personal fitness metrics and should not be seen as providing definitive medical advice; should any problems arise it would be wise to consult a healthcare professional directly.
Samsung Galaxy Watch FE 5. GPS
The Galaxy Watch FE is equipped with GPS technology, making it perfect for navigation, tracking your run’s progress and more. Just make sure that it is paired with your phone before taking advantage of this feature!Samsung Galaxy Watch FE
Downloading and saving GPX maps allows you to navigate them on your watch when hiking or cycling – a great feature if you plan on undertaking long hikes/biking trips.
Your Galaxy Watch FE can also help maximize your workout performance by creating personalized Heart Rate Zones to optimize workout efficiency. In addition, its built-in health features allow you to track stress levels, sleep patterns and more for improved wellbeing.
Samsung doesn’t currently include this feature on the FE/4 (2024), so you should expect it to make its way onto their next-gen FE model. In order to keep costs low, they may reduce some health monitoring sensors like skin temperature monitoring if that will help bring down costs further. If you want more details about this upcoming model, stay tuned for their Unpacked event in July!
