While we will obviously have to wait for the “Unpacked” event next month for news about the Galaxy Watch 7 and Ultra, the company has just officially announced the Galaxy Watch FE.
This much more affordable watch appears to be comparable to the Galaxy Watch 4. However, Samsung typically delivers four major Wear OS updates and four years of security updates. The Galaxy Watch FE should therefore be supported until 2028, while the Galaxy Watch 4 will no longer receive updates from next year.
