Samsung has yet to officially announce the Galaxy Watch FE, but its release seems inevitable. The watch has already appeared in official images and on Samsung’s support page. Recently, Samsung inadvertently confirmed it once again by listing the Galaxy Watch FE on its official website.
Promo Offer in Belgium
The wearable was noticed in an interesting promotional offer in Belgium. Users can receive a free Galaxy Watch FE when purchasing a Galaxy S24, S24+, or S24 Ultra with a subscription plan from Orange or VOO before June 30. This is quite unexpected since Samsung hasn't officially revealed the Galaxy Watch FE yet.
This understated approach is consistent with Samsung’s typical Fan Edition (FE) marketing strategy, which usually aims to clear out older inventory by repackaging existing models at a lower cost.
Similarities to Galaxy Watch 4
According to leaks, the Galaxy Watch FE seems to be merely a rebranded version of the three-year-old Galaxy Watch 4. Don’t expect any upgrades or new features. The FE will maintain the circular design, AMOLED display, and most features of the Watch 4, though there might be some differences in areas like battery life.

Expected Release Date
The listing, accidental or not, indicates that Samsung plans to release the Galaxy Watch FE before the Galaxy Unpacked event next month, rumored to be on July 10. The promotional campaign for the Watch FE with Galaxy S24 pre-orders runs until the end of June, suggesting a launch either in the last week of June or the first week of July.
