Key Points:
- The Galaxy Watch FE is being inadvertently revealed on Samsung’s global websites.
- Samsung France is offering the Galaxy Watch FE as a complimentary gift with the purchase of the Galaxy S24 series.
- The Galaxy Watch FE is essentially a rebranded version of the older Galaxy Watch 4.
Samsung is inadvertently unveiling the Galaxy Watch FE through its official websites worldwide. An early listing for this upcoming watch appeared on the Samsung US website earlier today. Meanwhile, in France, Samsung is already promoting the Galaxy Watch FE as a complimentary gift for customers purchasing the Galaxy S24 series.
Samsung’s approach to the Galaxy Watch FE seems to lack the usual fanfare, which is unsurprising. The Fan Edition (FE) devices typically consist of older hardware repackaged with minor updates and sold at a lower price. The Galaxy Watch FE, for instance, is merely a rebranded Galaxy Watch 4, which was originally released three years ago. This strategy allows Samsung to clear out its inventory of older components while providing consumers with more affordable options.
These premature listings suggest that the Galaxy Watch FE might be officially announced before Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris next month. The promotion by Samsung France, offering the Watch FE with Galaxy S24 purchases, is valid until the end of June. This hints at an official launch in the last week of June or the first week of July. Despite the lack of novelty in the Galaxy Watch FE, its bundled offer with the new Galaxy S24 series adds a layer of appeal for potential buyers.
