What type of watch is the Bark Watch?
The Bark kid’s smart watch is a Schok Chronovolt CV16. We designed it with safety and durability in mind, providing features like GPS location tracking, contact management, and an emergency SOS button, for parents’ peace of mind.
How does the SOS emergency feature work?
There’s a button on the watch that will allow your child to quickly contact you or 911 when you press it in certain orders.

Nope! The Bark Watch is a standalone device with its own phone number, talk & text, and other features. There’s no need to purchase a Bark Phone when you’re buying the Bark Watch.
How is the Bark watch different from other kids’ smart watches?
The Bark Watch stands out from other watches because of our advanced content monitoring that comes built-in. Our software automatically scans texts, photos, and videos for dangers and sends you an alert if something concerning is found.

A Great Low Tech Option for Younger Kids
We got this to help our 8 year old start developing some independence. He is just a little skittish out in the world and doesn’t like being alone. Ever. I wanted him to get used to being at home for 10-15 minute periods by himself while I pick up his siblings from school, BUT we are big on no screens in our family. We believe in more independence in the real world and very little independence with technology. My husband has a flip phone so we needed a watch that didn’t require an app to text. We also wanted one with very limited functionality and heavy on the parental controls. This has been fantastic so far. We’ve had it for about 2 weeks. An added bonus is that he loves “cold calling” his grandparents and auntie. During pre-approved hours, he loves calling and leaving them audio texts.Something I didn’t realize would be so helpful was the screening of all texts for questionable content. I got a notification when he texted his grandma for the first time and she wrote back “who is this?” The notification said he might be texting someone unknown, but that was cleared up quickly. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing he can have some privacy, but if anything is dangerous, I’ll know about it. Since the contacts are put in by me and very limited, I wasn’t worried to begin with, but this extra fail safe has been fantastic.Set up was super easy and fast. The only trouble we’ve had is when he’s been playing hard and sweating, he’ll plug the watch in and it won’t charge. It tells you it’s slow charging and to clean the sensors, and when he notices, he does it and it’ll charge fine. But he’s 8 and won’t often notice. I have issues with silicone bands causing chemical burns on my watches, so I got him a nylon band on amazon which he likes and allow him to find a comfortable fit. The watch face itself is quite large.Overall we are so happy with this purchase and I have already recommended it several times.

Bark watch was the best of 3 kids smart watches that we tried!
We’re loving our bark watch. In our search for giving our 7 year old independence we tried the Garmin Bounce and the JR track 5 as well. Each has their pros and cons and the Bark watch won because it has great service that has never been spotty, is not too big for my 7 year olds wrist, is waterproof and seems very durable for his active lifestyle, and I like that they offer a phone for when he’s ready. As for the other watches – The JR track is not waterproof and it’s a lot bigger than the other watches. The text on it also feels small. And despite having a fun kid-friendly design and interface, the Garmin had terrible service in our area. The Bark Watch came out on top! Highly recommend… we did the testing for you 🙂

A great way to start!
What a fun way to introduce responsibility and technology to our 11 year old. The questions of “why can’t my friends have my number so I can text them” or “why can’t I have social media on this” open up great conversations about safety, boundaries, and awareness. Transitioning from the watch to the phone someday will be smooth and continue to provide the peace of mind. We have no landline so the 911 feature is fantastic. Area for improvement – battery life is a bit disappointing. We have to charge it every night. It’ll be at 100% at 7am and by 5-6pm it’s at 11%. I know usage plays into battery drainage as well. Regardless, I’d still purchase this watch again!

Total first day startup cost (without a phone number to PORT): $449 so be prepared.
Great ideas for a child’s first device. Works, sends and receives and relatively easy to set up.What you should know:The Bark watch was $170, and free shipping, also, You pay $99. to Bark for a years service plan paid in advance.I did not understand at first if your child does not have a phone plan or number to port, it’s $15. a month for a phone plan through Bark ($15. A month) $180. a year. Thats $279. EVERY year to Bark! Total first day startup cost:$449 so be prepared.

Design
Son loves it so far and isn’t too disappointed it’s not an actual Apple Watch. Appreciate that the design resembles an adult smart watch.

Best option to keep tabs on kiddies than giving them a cellphone ✨
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…..

Good value and quality
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!

Great watch when you aren’t ready for a phone!
This is a great device for easy communication with your child, especially if you are not ready for them to have a phone. My daughter is 11 and becoming more independent but not ready for the responsibility of having a phone. She is able to message me when she is out in the neighborhood so I have an idea of where she is. The watch also tracks her so if she forgets to let me know, I can still see where she is. I have configured the watch so she can’t play with it during the school day or after bedtime. It’s a great watch! I would have given 5 stars except the battery life is pretty limited. The watch dies fairly quickly by the evening and needs to be recharged. This could be from overuse by my child or just a weak battery.
