This is a great way to give my son more independence while also knowing he's only a call or text away. He loves his new watch!

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: Independence for him, peace of mind for you — that's exactly what we set out to build! So glad he's loving his new watch. Thank you for sharing!

My son is 7 years old and enjoys the watch. It allows him more freedom because I can see where he is at, text him, call him (with or without video) and drop in to listen if need be. It makes me feel safer too. I had issues with the GPS where it showed my son 3 blocks away from where he actually was. So I called the Support and they updated something for me and it's been accurate. The watch is perfect for elementary kid. No social media apps, nice parents portal, cute design, easy to use.

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: So glad our support team was able to get the GPS sorted for you quickly! That's exactly the kind of experience we want every parent to have. And it sounds like your son is making the most of his freedom too. Thank you so much for the kind words!

my son loves it! and it is very useful for us. will be recommending with fam friends

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: So glad it's been a hit for both of you! Thank you so much for recommending us to family and friends — that means the world to us.

Customer photo review of TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Absolutely wonderful watch. My son loves all the features, like the different animations when you log in (pictured). And I know exactly where he is at all times. The calls work great, too, and quality is crystal clear. Can’t say enough about this watch.

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: The login animations are a fan favorite and we love that he noticed! So glad the call quality and location tracking have been hitting the mark too. Thank you so much for sharing!

We had the TickTalk 5 for over a year, and the TickTalk 6 is a wonderful upgrade with much more comfortable band, brighter and clearer screen. My 8yo even wore it to sleep overnight bc it was so comfortable she “forgot” to take it off before bed. So far everything is working well. We live in more rural area and can tell there’s a boost in the cell signal as well. We had tried other brands but TickTalk has been the most user-friendly and easiest to navigate. It just works!

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: So comfortable she forgot to take it off before bed — that is the best compliment the new band could ask for! So glad the brighter screen, improved signal and overall experience have all been noticeable upgrades for your family. Thank you so much for sticking with TickTalk and for the kind words!

It's still new but the quality of video is substantial from the 5. My only criticism is that the charger base is hard to make 'stick' with the case on. Took that off and no issues!

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: So glad the video quality upgrade has been noticeable! Great tip on removing the case for the charger base — we'll keep that in mind for others too. Thank you for sharing!

My 7-year-old is showing so much independence with her new watch! I can see her location when she’s riding the bus to and from school, visiting neighbor friends’ houses and scootering around outside. I love that I can call her when I need to and always know where she is. She loves that it looks like a cool grown up watch. She enjoys sending her dad and I text messages and little cards. We wish we’d gotten the Tick Talk sooner!

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: She thinks it looks like a cool grown-up watch — we love that! Bus rides, neighbor visits, scootering around — sounds like she's making the most of her independence. And sending little cards to mom and dad? The sweetest. Wishing you'd found us sooner too! Thank you so much for sharing.

I love being able to call my child whenever I need to, and they answer right from their wrist. My kids are really enjoying the walkie-talkie feature too. It keeps them connected without needing a full smartphone. Highly recommend the TickTalk!

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: Answering right from their wrist — it never gets old! So glad the kids are having fun with TickTalkie™ too — it's one of our favorite features. Thank you so much for the recommendation!

My daughter has been using Ticktalk 6 for a few weeks now and she absolutely loves it! Ticktalk 6 has given us parents the added peace of mind we were looking for as the school year began, ensuring our child could contact us if they need to and provide us with up to date location tracking which lets us know our child is safe and where they should be!

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: Back to school with peace of mind — that's exactly what we're here for! So glad the TickTalk 6 has been a great fit for your family from the start. Thank you so much for sharing!

We are very happy with the TickTalk 6! The battery easily makes it through a long day of use, the design is sleeker, the band sturdier and easier to put on and take off. The speakers feel louder and clearer than prior models and my son loves his new watch. He sets a different photo of him and friends as his homescreen each day, and it’s fun for all of them to see which he’ll pick. I feel reassured that he can contact me whenever he needs, and I can see where he is in real-time. So far, so good with the 6!

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: Picking a new photo of him and his friends every day — that might be our favorite use of the homescreen yet! So glad the sleeker design, sturdier band, and real-time location are all hitting the mark. Thank you so much for sharing!

We got the TickTalk 6 to stay connected with our kids without giving them a smartphone with open internet or social media. It hits the sweet spot between giving them independence and giving us total peace of mind. I regularly recommend it to others.

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: "Sweet spot" — we couldn't have said it better ourselves! Thank you so much for regularly recommending us — that truly means the world to us.

Great watch, kids love it. 1 thing I wish was possible. Keeping the screen on longer.

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: So glad the kids are loving it! Just a helpful tip — you can adjust the screen timeout under "Auto Lock" in the watch settings to keep it on longer. Hope that helps!

Customer photo review of TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

We recently got a TickTalk 6 watch for our child, and it has honestly been one of the best tech purchases we've made as parents. :) My daughter absolutely loves it because she feels independent and can easily call or message us when needed. From a parent's perspective, it's incredibly simple to use and gives us tremendous peace of mind. Whether I'm running five minutes late picking her up from soccer practice, need to check in during a playdate, or want to make sure she arrived safely at an activity, I can reach her quickly without having to give her a full smartphone. One of the biggest benefits is that it provides the communication and safety features we need without all the distractions and concerns that come with social media, internet browsing, and endless apps. It strikes the perfect balance between staying connected and letting kids be kids. <3

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: Running late to soccer pickup, playdates, activities — you just described exactly why we built the TickTalk 6! "Letting kids be kids" is everything we stand for. Thank you so much for this wonderful review — it truly warmed our hearts!

Upgrading from Tick Talk 5 to 6 is a great decision. The new watch boasts a more robust build and a wider range of features. The strap is exceptionally durable, making it an ideal choice for kids. Additionally, the new model offers the convenient option of a charging power base, which is great.

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: So glad the upgrade has been worth it! The new band and power base are two of our favorite additions — built for real kid life. Thank you so much for sharing!

Customer photo review of TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

We upgraded from a TickTalk 5 to this TickTalk 6 and we were floored with how easy it was to port the phone number from the old one to the new one. His new TickTalk 6 was up and fully functional within 10 minutes. The new band is way more comfortable and faster to put on/take off. Locating him seems about as accurate as the previous model, which is pretty accurate and we have no complaints. We are able to set do not disturb time during school which helps him not get in trouble with it. He's really enjoyed being able to be in contact with his family and friends but we have the peace of mind that he doesn't have access to the Internet. Battery life is much better on the TickTalk 6 than the 5, so that's awesome. Overall we're so glad for the upgrades and find that this watch serves our family's communication needs excellently.

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: Thank you again for the kind words!

I love this watch for my daughter. It gives her a sense of independence without giving her too much access. I can control and see everything and I love that. The watch bands could use an upgrade. My daughter has a very small wrist and the regular is barely big enough for her. It's easy for her to use. Adding app users could be improved as sometimes I would get a failed message. I would close the app and try again and it would work. Over all. We love it.

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: So glad she's loving the independence it gives her — that balance is exactly what we aim for! We hear you on the band sizing and the app user glitch — we'll pass both along to our development team. Thank you so much for the detailed feedback and for loving the watch overall.

I bought this watch for my 9 year old daughter as I was not ready to let her have a phone yet.I am able to know where she is and she can contact me whenever she needs to ...that gives me peace of mind.It has good call/sound clarity. GPS is 96-97% accurate most of the time. My daughter loves the sleek design, the touchscreen is responsive and she said that the band is comfortable and easy to wear.

Store owner replied: Thank you again for the kind words! So glad your daughter is loving the design and comfortable band. We really appreciate you sharing your experience!

I was looking for something that my 9 year old. I didn't want her to have a phone yet. Ticktalk 6 helps me know where she is and she can contact me whenever she needs.. that gives me peace of mind. The GPS is 96-97% accurate almost all the time. Call clarity is great and my daughter loves the design and the comfortable band.

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: 96-97% accurate — we'll take those numbers! So glad the TickTalk 6 has been the perfect fit before jumping to a phone, and that she loves the design and comfort band too. Thank you so much for sharing!

Customer photo review of TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

I tried the size 5 last year and wasn’t too happy with the waistband—it kept wearing out, so I had to keep buying replacements. But I absolutely love the size 6, and my kid does too! No more waistband issues, and the Remote Answer feature is super helpful for safety. It’s such a GREAT design! You won’t regret buying it!

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: From TT5 to TT6 and already a convert — we love that! The washable comfort band was one of our favorite upgrades and we're so glad it's made such a difference for your family. And Remote Answer for safety is such a game changer. Thank you so much for the kind words and the recommendation!

This has been a great upgrade from our Gizmo watch. Love the app and the overall feel of the watch. Location isn't exact but it's good. This has given us the ability to let our child have a little more freedom while also giving us peace of mind. Would recommend

Customer photo review of TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

I love that this watch can send texts to our phones instead of through an app like so many. We love that it can receive silly GIFS, Face calls, has many parental settings, etc. the downsides is that the battery life isn't as good as I would have hoped. The end of the wristband also broke off within a couple days but they are replacing it, which is nice but still makes me a little nervous about it happening to the next band. We also LOVE the GPS feature for when my daughter is on the bus or at a friend's house.

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: So glad the GPS, texting, GIFs and FaceTime calls have all been a hit! We're really glad our customer service team was able to take care of the band issue for you. We hear you on battery life and appreciate the feedback. Thank you so much for sharing!

My Kids Love Their TickTalk 6 Watches! We bought two TickTalk 6 watches for our 10-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son, and they were both so excited! I love being able to stay connected with them without giving them smartphones. There are a few things I would improve, such as adding a keyboard for texting, more clock display colors, and better call connectivity. I also wish we could choose the band sizes and colors when purchasing. Overall, the watches are a great idea for kids, and I hope future updates make them even better!

I am coparenting my 7yo autistic son across a 10hour distance. Mobile phones and extended screen time at this age are not things we want to use. With TICKTALK, not only can my son contact both his parents when he wants comfort, but we each are able to share messages and photos. It has made a big difference to my son and I as we work to coparent post divorce. Thank you!

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: This genuinely moved us — thank you so much for sharing something so personal. Knowing that TickTalk is helping your son feel close to both his parents across 10 hours is exactly the kind of connection we set out to create. We're rooting for your whole family.

Great Watches for Kids, but Definitely Room for Improvement We recently purchased two TickTalk 6 watches, one for my 10-year-old daughter and another for my 13-year-old autistic son. Both of my kids absolutely loved their new watches, and they were so excited to start using them! However, there are a few things I wish TickTalk would improve. First, I wish customers could choose the band color and size when ordering. Every child has a different wrist size and preference, and having to spend an additional $19.99 on a replacement band after already purchasing the watches is frustrating. Second, I wish the eSIM connectivity were more reliable. When I tried making test calls to my son’s watch, the calls wouldn’t go through when the screen was off, but they worked when the screen was on. I spent almost an entire day trying to figure out what was causing the issue. I believe I finally got it working, but it shouldn’t be that complicated, especially for a device parents purchase to stay connected with their children. I also wish there were more customization options for the clock display, such as changing the colors of the clock and time. Another disappointment is the voice-to-text feature. In my experience, it doesn’t work very well. I would much rather have an actual keyboard so my children could type their own messages instead of relying on voice-to-text. This would be especially helpful for my son. Overall, my children really love their watches, and I think TickTalk has a great concept. However, for the price of the watches and the monthly service plans, I expected better connectivity, more customization, and easier messaging options. I hope TickTalk takes feedback from parents seriously and considers making these improvements in future updates. These watches are meant to give parents peace of mind, and reliable communication should be the number one priority.

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review — it truly means a lot! We're so glad both your daughter and your son are loving their watches. We hear you on the band color and size selection at checkout — that's great feedback and we've passed it along to our team. On the connectivity issue, we'd really love to help make sure everything is working smoothly for your son — please reach out to support@myticktalk.com so our team can walk you through it. Reliable communication is absolutely our number one priority and we want to make sure he's always reachable. As for voice-to-text and clock customization, we appreciate the feedback and have noted both for our development team. Thank you again for taking the time to share — parents like you help us improve!

My kid loves the ticktalk watch! It’s still learning accurate locations but improving everyday! The calling and texting feature is great for keeping in touch and he loves the radio feature! Overall we are happy with our purchase and would recommend to parents who aren’t ready for their kid to have a full smart phone yet.

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Had it a few days now. Good points- not too big, good for texting and calling, love the amount of features I control. Things to consider- I would like to see ALL texts in my app sent to my son by people in the watch, not just blocked numbers. I want his friends to have a way to get a hold of him, but I want to see what is being said. In the DND mode, if you hit a button accidentally a second time then it says it is in DND mode until it is no longer in DND mode and no longer works as a watch. And the thing I don’t care about is the fact that it doesn’t even remotely track steps accurately. My kid took 65,732 steps in one day? No. Lol. Today is a low day at only 40,834… Overall, would still purchase the watch. It just has a few kinks.

TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Video Calls & SOS

Store owner replied: 65,732 steps — your son might be secretly training for a marathon! We appreciate the honest and detailed feedback — the text visibility and DND notes are genuinely helpful and we've passed them along to our team. For the DND issue especially, please feel free to reach out to support@myticktalk.com so we can look into it further. Thanks for sticking with us overall — we really appreciate it!
