Great Smart Watch for kids
Great first smart watch for our daughter to use for school and around with friends. Simple to use and she loves to record videos, send us texts and call us whenever she needs to! She loves the color too! We love the GPS and the Parental App. This is the second one we have owned as her older brother uses one as well. Definitely recommend!

Great 1st Smart Watch â¤ï¸
I recently purchased the TikTok 5 smartwatch for my 5-year-old and Iâm really impressed so far. She was able to pick it up and start using it almost immediately, which says a lot about how intuitive and kid-friendly the design is.The companion app and the watch interface are both very user-friendly, making setup and navigation a breeze for parents and kids alike. The graphics are bright, crisp, and engaging, perfect for keeping a childâs attention without feeling overwhelming.My only small critique is the limited color options. A few more choices would make it even more exciting for kids to personalize their watch.Overall, this feels like a fantastic smartwatch for young children, and our initial experience has been excellent. Highly recommend for parents looking for a durable, easy-to-use option!

Great starter watch for kids.
I purchased this for my 7 year old. He’s getting more mobile around the neighborhood and wanting more independance. So this was a great option without resorting to a phone. I didn’t use the data plan that come with the watch. I pulled the sim card and actually used US Mobile. it was pretty cheap for a 1 year plan (bought the 2gig) and works great. It was easy to activate and works fantastic.Things I like: 1. Tracking. You can choose more active tracking or even just initiate a tracking. 2. The app. The app is fantastic. It gives plenty of options and limiting features. 3. Iheart radio. He loves having his own streaming on it. 4. Calling. I like that others don’t have to have the app to get calls from him or to call him. 5. Charging. We actually just 3d printed him a charger holder for it from a free site and it works great. He has a place he sets it at night to charge.Dislikes: 1. The app. I dislike that others need the app for texting. I get the video calls but I’ve got a lot of famiy members who’d text him who won’t because they struggle with the app and so choose not to install 1 more app. 2. Battery life. It advertises longer than it gets. It does last all day but he has to charge it every night. 3. Proprietary charger. I with is was a wireless charger 4. Sim card slot. I wish it did e-sim activation and didn’t need a sim. 5. app support. I wish there was more apps that could be added to the watch for him.

Great watch with many safely features.
I spent quite a while exploring other GPS watches for kids. I even bucked a suggestion from a friend who liked another brand. I initially chose this one because it allows you to send a call request, whereas the watch will actually make a call to you, and you can listen in on the children’s surroundings. This is an important safety feature in case you attempt to contact your child and they do not answer the call.That is also one of the main reasons why I’m keeping this watch. In addition, it does have good battery life. While we charge it every night, after a full day of use, it’s only down to about 90%, so battery life is not an issue. That is the battery life without the active tracking, so if enabling active tracking, the battery usage will be increased. The active tracking updates the GPS signal every 10 minutes. Without the active tracking, the GPS will only update manually when you go into the app.It also has all the other functions, as I’m sure are listed in the item description. It’s easy for kids to call mom and dad with a simple swipe and touch. The texting feature is also nice, and for kids who are not yet writing or spelling, there’s the ability to hold a button and record a voice text that will send a voice message via text to the recipient.It also seems well-built and durable. This watch has a lot of other functionality, so be sure to check out the tutorials from TickTalk to be able to fully use the benefits of this watch. On a final note, the TickTalk app has a lot of functions, and I’ve found it works well and is easy to use.

We bought this for our child as he was leaving to summer school. From the very first day, the battery only lasted 6 hours. Later it lasted less and less , charging very little during the whole night and after 20 days it shut off completely and never went back on. As our child was away from day one using the watch , we werenât able to return the item ⦠200 euros straight in the bin. Zero recommendable
