Aside from the Galaxy Watch 7, which is set to be unveiled at Unpacked in July, Samsung is also rumored to launch the first Galaxy Watch under the FE brand. Leaks continue to circulate, most recently an Amazon listing revealing the price and possible release date of the smartwatch.

Samsung Galaxy Watch FE Price

Discovered by Subscribe to (above GSMArena), the listing, which comes from Amazon itself, contains the price of the alleged Galaxy Watch FE. According to this, it will retail for 199 euros in the country and probably in many European markets as well.

It is safe to assume that the smartwatch would cost $199 in the US. However, it is also possible that it could be cheaper in the US and other countries, considering how high Samsung devices are priced in the EU.

Regardless, the Galaxy Watch FE is significantly cheaper than the base Galaxy Watch 6 (review) at $299. But the current flagship smartwatch has also been regularly discounted to as low as $199, so it's unclear how Samsung will position the Galaxy Watch FE once it's available.

Samsung Galaxy Watch FE release date

In addition to the price, the listing also states that pre-orders for the Galaxy Watch FE will begin shipping on June 24, so it's entirely believable that the announcement could come before that date, rather than being announced alongside the Galaxy Watch 7 in July.

Other interesting details were also mentioned, such as that the wearable will be available in black, silver and pink. It was also described that the device weighs 26.6 grams and measures 40 x 10 x 39 mm.
