Bark Watch Review: Is This Kid-Friendly Smartwatch Worth It?
1 min read
Summary
The Bark Watch is a kid-friendly smartwatch that lets children call and message approved contacts without accessing the wider internet.
It has a simple interface, with a touch screen, camera, and GPS, as well as guidelines for safe usage.
It works with a specialized smartphone app that lets parents add approved contacts, set screen time limits and view location data, as well as leveraging AI to detect issues like cyberbullying.
The device is subscription-only, with a 24-month payment plan on top of a $15/month device fee, and has no real-time GPS tracking.
Its text messaging features don’t always work reliably, and parents can’t view photos taken with it, only relying on AI monitoring.
It’s a good option for basic communication for young children, but other options offer more control and peace of mind for parents.
