Update:
The original story follows below:
Apart from working on a “regular” new Galaxy Watch 7 that we don’t really know much about and an aptly named Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra rival for the rugged Apple Watch Ultra family with a pretty bizarre design, Samsung is clearly also preparing a first-of-a-kind Galaxy Watch FE model with a presumably affordable price tag.
Then you’ll apparently have an unchanged 247mAh cell capable of delivering an improved 30-hour battery life rating with the help of a more frugal One UI 5.0 interface based on Google’s Wear OS platform. Certified to resist water immersion up to 50 meters deep, the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE is also purportedly equipped with its very own microphone and speaker, and perhaps more importantly, an optical heart rate monitor, ECG technology, and a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) sensor for body composition analysis.
That (along with the product’s release date) are basically the only missing puzzle pieces right now, which is why it’s probably wise to reserve judgment on this seemingly inexplicable decision to bring back a 2021 smartwatch from the dead before we get the full picture.
