TickTalk 6 is officially in stock and available now at myticktalk.com. It is our most complete kids smartwatch yet, designed for kids ages 3 to 12 and built around one idea: Communication First. Safety Always.

TickTalk 6 gives kids more age-appropriate independence and gives parents more control, without games, social media, or open internet. It adds voice calling, FaceTalk video calling, Real SMS, group chat, and TickTalkie, our LTE/Wi-Fi walkie-talkie experience. It also brings a slimmer, lighter design with a 1.6-inch AMOLED display and a built-in eSIM.

If you've been waiting to get one for your family, or you're thinking about upgrading from TickTalk 5, here's what's new.

Key Features of TickTalk 6

More ways to stay connected. Kids can make voice calls, join FaceTalk video calls, send Real SMS messages to approved phone contacts, and chat in family and group chats. Parents manage up to 100 approved contacts and can block unknown numbers from the TickTalk App.

TickTalkie LTE Walkie-Talkie. TickTalkie lets approved TickTalk Watch Friends talk watch-to-watch over LTE or Wi-Fi, beyond the short-range limits of traditional walkie-talkies, wherever compatible coverage is available. It works with TickTalk 5 and newer watches, so friends don't all need to upgrade at once.

Smarter location and safety tools. Parents get Real-Time Location Tracking, History Route, and AI SmartPin, which learns from your corrections to improve location accuracy at familiar places. Kids can reach help with SOS and 911 calling. Location accuracy and timing depend on GPS, network, and environment.

A redesigned TickTalk App. The app is the parent control center for approved App Users and contacts, watch settings, School Mode and Focus, music content and listening limits, and My Services for plans and subscriptions.

TickTalk Radio. A parent-controlled, age-curated music and wellness experience for kids ages 3 to 12. Parents can preview stations, turn individual stations on or off, set listening limits, and use Focus Mode to keep listening to calm wellness stations only. It requires a separate subscription: $4.99 per month, or included with the TickTalk Wireless Premium plan.

Built-in eSIM and Global Travel. Setup needs no physical SIM card. An optional Global Travel Plan covers 160+ countries and regions, though some destinations are data-only.

T-Cloud backup and transfer. Cloud backup, restore, and device migration help families bring supported watch data and settings forward to a new watch.

Built for real kid life. The watch is slimmer and lighter, with a 1.6-inch AMOLED touchscreen, a 5 MP camera, IP68 water resistance (water-resistant, not waterproof), a washable comfort band, SignalBooster 2.0, and up to 135 hours of standby time. Standby varies with use, settings, and signal.

And as always: no games, no social media, no open internet.
