Is the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE - 40mm thick for a 39mm watch?
At 9.8mm, thinner than 73% of 39mm watches, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most of its size. Thickness, not case width, is what decides whether a watch catches on a shirt cuff.

TAG Heuer Carrera Automatic Stainless Steel / Silver - Arabic / Korea, Tissot PRC 100 Solar Quartz 39 Stainless Steel / Ice Blue / Bracelet, Apple Watch Series 11 - GPS + Cellular · Aluminium · 46mm, Xiaomi Redmi Watch Move all sit within half a millimetre of the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE - 40mm's 39.3mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.
What is the lug-to-lug of the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE - 40mm?
40.4mm, against a 39.3mm case width. Lug-to-lug is the measurement that decides overhang: if it exceeds the flat width of your wrist, the lugs sit past the edge no matter how modest the case diameter looks.
