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.

I did. battery life is as worse as it was before. Also takes a lot of time to get loaded up after powering on, and lag when I select an activity mode. The update basically ruined the watch experience for me. High hopes on One Ui 6 update.

This is clearly marketed towards children.
