Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Ring? Nah, I’m more excited to try the Galaxy Watch FE — here’s why!
The affordable Watch FE may be the play for most who want to get into the Galaxy wearables ecosystem.

This year, Samsung seems to be pulling out all the stops, with a branded smart ring and multiple new smartwatch generations headed our way. Yet, even with a rumored “Ultra” Galaxy Watch model and a teeny tiny Galaxy Ring on the horizon in 2024, my attention has been on the rumors of a humbler addition to the company’s wearable offerings. I’m talking, of course, about the budget-friendly Galaxy Watch FE, which Samsung officially announced with little to no fanfare on June 13. Despite the quiet debut, now that the device’s specs are clear, I’m even more convinced it’s worth my regard.
Before I get ahead of myself, I realize that introducing an affordable model isn’t a novel idea when it comes to popular smartwatch lines. Here at Android Authority, we’ve often recommended Apple’s Watch SE line as the best option for most, dubbing the paired-down device a Goldilocks pick that perfectly balances features and cost. The issue, obviously, is that Apple’s budget watch series isn’t an option for Android users at all due to its incompatibility with Android phones.
