Samsung makes the Galaxy Watch FE official with $199 price and June 24 release date

Following a myriad of recent leaks, today Samsung has finally decided to make the Galaxy Watch FE official. This is the first FE product in the Galaxy Watch line and, as expected, it's a rebranded and re-launched Galaxy Watch4.

There is, however, one twist. The Watch FE has sapphire glass on top of its screen, which is an upgrade from the Gorilla Glass DX+ used in the Watch4. The Watch FE is also only available in one size - 40mm. There's no 44mm model, despite the fact that the Watch4 was offered in that size too.
