The new watch measures 40mm and comes with a 1.2-inch Super AMOLED display. Samsung says the Galaxy Watch FE has a “one-click band” feature so users can easily change bands.
The device is equipped with Sapphire Crystal Glass, which protects against scratches in everyday use. The Galaxy Watch FE’s BioActive Sensor, like the one on the Galaxy Watch 6, helps users keep track of their health and fitness data.
The company says that the sensor will offer “actions” that are geared towards users’ well-being. Regarding heart health, the device is said to include an HR Alert that alerts users if their heart rate is abnormally high or low.
In addition, Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification (IHRN) can alert users to symptoms of Afib. There is also an option to perform a quick ECG. Galaxy Watch FE offers sleep pattern tracking, sleep coaching and tips on creating a sleep-friendly environment for a better night’s sleep.
Galaxy Watch FE owners can take advantage of more than 100 training options. Runners are rewarded with deep analytics, including performance analysis, insights and guidance to prevent future injuries. A Personalized Heart Rate Zone will help users reach their goals, while Body Composition data will help you reach your personal progress goals.
