The Samsung Fan Edition (FE) lineup is a series of devices designed to bring some of the best features and capabilities of Samsung's flagship devices to a wider audience at a lower price point. Samsung makes some compromises -- in materials and slightly reduced specs -- to balance premium features with affordability. 

The Samsung Galaxy Watch FE has less RAM at 1.5GB, compared to the flagship's 2GB. It also has a slightly smaller display, at 1.2 inches, compared to the Watch 6's 1.3 inches. The Watch FE's processor is slightly less capable than the Watch 6, as it features an Exynos W920 Dual Core 1.18GHz, the same processor found in the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.

Designed to be a companion for a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, theGalaxy Watch FE gives users access to an array of fitness and health insights thanks to its BioActive Sensor. This sensor captures wellness data, including heart rate, to deliver irregular heart rhythm notifications and ECG capabilities.

"We're excited to add the new Galaxy Watch FE to our wearables portfolio, offering more people access to personalized health insights that empower them to be motivated and stay healthier day and night."
