Familiar Design with Modern Features

The Galaxy Watch FE features a 1.2-inch (40mm) AMOLED display with an always-on function, delivering crisp visuals at 396x396 pixels (330 PPI). Its larger bezels give it a slightly dated look, reminiscent of the 2021 Galaxy Watch 4, with which it shares many specs to keep costs down.

Powered by an Exynos W920 chip with 1.5GB RAM and 16GB storage, the Watch FE includes:

• Microphone
• Speaker
• GPS chip
• Bluetooth 5.3
• NFC
• Fall detection

Running Wear OS with Samsung’s One UI Watch 5 interface, it supports apps like Google Maps, Spotify, and Strava from the Play Store, seamlessly integrating with Samsung’s ecosystem. With a 5ATM water resistance rating, it can be submerged up to 50 meters for 10 minutes.

Available in black, blue, and pink, it suits various styles. Personalise it with our Samsung Galaxy Watch FE straps.

Health and Fitness Features

The Watch FE offers robust health and fitness tracking, including sleep monitoring with coaching, ECG for detecting heart rhythm irregularities, and additional metrics like:

• Heart rate monitoring
• Blood pressure monitoring
• Stress management
• SpO2 monitoring (blood oxygen levels)
• Menstrual cycle tracking

With over 100 workout modes, it provides tailored tips to prevent injuries. Body composition analysis tracks metrics like fat percentage and muscle mass, keeping UK users motivated to achieve their fitness goals.

Battery Life

The Watch FE’s 247mAh battery lasts approximately 30 hours, depending on usage. Heavy use of GPS or workout modes may require daily charging. A full charge takes about 1.5 hours, which is reasonable for its class.

Price and Availability

Starting at ~£119 for the black variant (with blue and pink slightly cheaper), the Watch FE is a steal compared to the Apple Watch SE (~£219). The Galaxy Watch 6, now discounted to ~£149 after the Watch 7’s release, offers slightly better performance for a modest price increase.
