Lee is a former Bose engineer who led the engineering of its famed sleepbuds, and he, in his own words, "knows how to put tiny things in people's ears for a long time," he told me in an exclusive interview.

Samsung offers FE (fan edition) smartphones and tablets, but this year's Galaxy Watch FE is the first smartwatch with the moniker. The Samsung Galaxy Watch FE LTE is a $250 smartwatch you can use on the go without having a phone connected via Bluetooth. The entry-level smartwatch is priced just right, given that it offers most of the functions in the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra. The 40mm Watch 7 with LTE is priced at $350, meaning you can pick up the FE for $100 less without compromising too much.
