Bark Watch - Safest Smart Watch for Kids - Talk and Text - GPS Tracking - Text Video

This is perfect for young child or child of special needs. Enough for them to feel like their peers to have a phone but nothing on it to put them in danger. Love that she can reach me at anytime as well as I can track her at anytime. Battery lasts 6:15am till 3:30pm. It also has girly accessories as well as screen covers you can buy on Amazon which make the watch better. It's easy to use and easy to set up. Best buy this year! Read more

As a parent of three, I can’t say enough good things about the Bark Watch. My oldest is getting to that age where independence is important, but I still want to know they’re safe — and this watch makes that possible. 💛 The setup was super easy, and I love that it has location tracking, safe messaging, and even call features without giving them full access to a smartphone. It gives me total peace of mind knowing where they are and being able to reach them anytime. The design is sleek and comfortable, and my child actually wants to wear it, which is a huge win. 🙌 The battery life has also been impressive — it easily lasts through busy school days and after-school activities. If you’re looking for a safe first step before a phone, the Bark Watch is worth every penny. It gives your child some freedom while keeping you connected and in control. Highly recommend! Read more

Works as described: Calling, texting our son after school, keeping tabs on location through GPS... My son even started keeping track of his steps, which is a feature that motivates him... Set up was straight forward & uncomplicated... Battery life could be better... No available App on Android/Google Store, but hopefully that'll change in the near future..... Read more

I'm really pleased with the Bark Watch. It's very easy to use, and I appreciate the built-in safety features - no internet or social media access, the ability to track location, and control over contacts. The texting feature can be a bit tricky due to the tiny keyboard, but my son works around it by sending audio messages instead. The included watch band isn't the most durable- it broke fairly quickly - but we were able to find stronger replacement bands at a low cost. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it for kids in mid-to-late elementary school. Read more

We're 2 weeks in, and so far so good! The initial set up took me a little longer than I expected. We were out of town (it was the holidays) and it let me connect to the hotel wifi, but then it wouldn't complete the set up. I realized that hotel wifi you generally have to go onto a website and authenticate, and that was the issue. The watch was showing connected to Wifi, but it wasn't full connected. I decided to try and connect it to the Wifi on my phone hotspot where you just need a password and it worked immediately -- so ended up User Error, but when I had been trying for 15-20 minutes to figure out what was wrong, there wasn't a good way I could find to contact Bark to troubleshoot. My DD loves the step counter. She also loves setting reminders for herself -- like, it's time to read today. Phone and text connections seem good and parent app is good. Got a first alert because her uncle (that I set up as a contact) didn't have her number yet and replied with "Who is this". That was flagged as an alert for suspicious content. But, loved having that visibility. Overall -- pleased and would recommend. Read more

I bought the Bark Watch for my child, and it has truly given me so much peace of mind. The setup was simple, and the watch itself is comfortable and durable perfect for kids. I love that I can keep track of where my child is, set safe zones, and even communicate with them without giving them a full phone. The sound on it is amazing! And the size is just perfect for children. You definitely get your moneys worth. Read more

Setup was straightforward—I downloaded the Bark app, connected the watch via Bluetooth/WiFi, and within minutes, it was ready to use. The app is user-friendly, allowing me to customize settings and monitor my child's activity seamlessly. My child wears it all day, and we only need to charge it every 1-2 days. That’s a win in my book! I love that my child can make and receive calls, but only from approved contacts. This ensures no random calls or spam. The voice quality is clear, and the speaker is loud enough for kids to hear. The real-time location tracking is very accurate! As a mom, I feel more at ease knowing where my child is at all times. You can even set up geofencing to get alerts if your child leaves a designated area (like school or a friend’s house). This is a game-changer! With one press, my child can instantly alert me in case of an emergency. Thankfully, we haven’t had to use it yet, but it gives me peace of mind.This watch was designed with safety in mind. Unlike some smartwatches that allow internet access and social media, Bark Watch is focused on safe communication. Through the Bark app, I can control who my child can contact and monitor messages if needed. My son loves the reminders and alarms. There's also do not disturb mode which can be set by the parent and it's also durable and water-resistant! i love that there's no internet or games, because I prefer a device free of distractions. This is definitely top notch! I'd say go for it! Read more
