The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch FE has appeared on Amazon, revealing key details about its pricing and availability. The new affordable smartwatch will be priced at €199/$199 and is set to be released on June 24.

Early Release and Pricing Details

The revelation comes just weeks before Samsung's next Unpacked event, which is expected to take place on July 10. While it was initially speculated that the Galaxy Watch FE would be introduced at this event alongside new smartphones and other devices, the Amazon listing suggests an earlier release. The €199 price point is expected to translate to around $199 in the US market.

Specifications and Features

According to the Amazon listing, the 40 mm version of the Galaxy Watch FE will have dimensions of 40x10x39 mm and weigh 26.6 grams. Although the listing did not provide images or detailed specifications, previous reports have indicated that the Galaxy Watch FE will essentially be a rebranded Galaxy Watch 4 with updated software.

If these reports are accurate, the Galaxy Watch FE will feature:

• Display: 1.2-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 396x396 pixels
• Battery: 247 mAh with an estimated 30 hours of runtime
• Durability: 5 ATM water resistance rating, IP68 certification, and MIL-STD-810H compliance
• Processor: Exynos W920 SoC

Market Position and Expectations

Samsung's strategy with the Galaxy Watch FE appears to be focused on providing a cost-effective option within its smartwatch lineup. By offering a device with solid specifications at a lower price point, Samsung aims to attract a broader audience, including those who may be new to the wearable market or looking for a budget-friendly alternative to premium models.

The early release of the Galaxy Watch FE could also be a strategic move to capture market attention and drive sales ahead of the larger Unpacked event. With its competitive pricing and robust feature set, the Galaxy Watch FE is poised to become a popular choice among consumers looking for a reliable and affordable smartwatch.

Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the official launch and the Unpacked event next month.
