The Galaxy Watch FE has been leaking a lot in recent days, and Samsung is already giving away one to S24 family buyers over in Belgium. That got us thinking – what if the Galaxy Watch FE won’t actually launch with the Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra in July?
Our suspicions were confirmed today by a new rumor. According to a tipster on X, the Watch FE will be released on June 24. It’s only a rumor at this point, so don’t take it too seriously. In any case, Samsung’s next Unpacked event is already packed with devices, and the Watch FE probably wouldn’t have gotten much attention.
Due to the fact that this is just the Galaxy Watch4 re-launched three years later, and that it aims to serve as a cheaper alternative to the Watch7 series, that also makes sense.
