We upgraded from Ticktalk 4 to 5 and then finally to the newest model Ticktalk 6, The white version is pretty and modern, it improves a lot from both appearance and weight, my daughter enjoys it a lot
TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smart Watch with Video Calls & SOS
Store owner replied: From the TickTalk 4 to 5 to 6, thank you for being with us every step of the way! So glad your daughter is enjoying the white watch and the slimmer, lighter design. We really appreciate you sharing!
We had a TickTalk5 and were impressed. Since then, the app has continually been updated and now the TickTalk6 improves upon the hardware with a slightly slimmer form, no fragile SIM card cover, and much more comfortable strap. The apps and operating system all continue to work as expected. The only negative change was requiring a subscription for music where it was included previously. We haven’t tried TickTalk Radio on the new watch because of the additional expense.

We are long Time TickTalk 5 users and recently upgraded to TT6. It was a great decision! My 8 year old was so excited to get her new watch, and we're excited for the upgraded features. My kiddo is split between households, and her watch has given everyone an improved sense of connection and safety. Things we love: the new fabric band, GPS tracking, unlimited texting Things we don't love: extra cost for radio, GPS quirks Overall, we've stuck with TT because we believe it's the best option on the market!

The TickTalk 6 is a great upgrade from the TickTalk 5! The improvements are noticeable, and the watch is easy to set up and use. We love the added features and the peace of mind it provides knowing we can stay connected with our child and keep track of their location. It’s a great balance of giving our child a little independence while allowing us as parents to stay connected. Definitely worth the upgrade and would recommend it to other parents!

First time buying a smartwatch for my daughter. It has worked great for us so far! I love that I can communicate with her when I need to and track her location at all times. I don’t have to worry about her accessing the internet and all that extra stuff and I have control over who she can talk to.
TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smart Watch with Video Calls & SOS
Store owner replied: What a great first smartwatch choice! So glad it's been working well and giving you the control and peace of mind you were looking for. Thank you for sharing!
I got the TickTalk 6 for my child and I’m really happy with it. It gives us a way to stay in touch without handing over a full smartphone. Calling and video calling are simple enough for a kid to use, and I like being able to check their location from the parent app. The parental controls are a big plus. Only contacts I approve can reach the watch, and there are no games, social media, or open internet to worry about. My kid enjoys wearing it, and I have more peace of mind when we’re apart. Overall, it’s a good watch, and I’d recommend it to other parents looking for a safe way to stay connected with their kids.

It is more comfortable than the 5 but I don’t like that you have to pay for radio.
TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smart Watch with Video Calls & SOS
Store owner replied: So glad the new band has been more comfortable! Just a helpful tip — TickTalk Radio is actually included with the Premium wireless plan if you'd like to give that a look. Feel free to visit myticktalk.com for more details!
I bought two TickTalk 6 watches for my grandsons. They are ages 6 and 7, too young for a smartwatch and too old for the "toy" watches. They like being able to contact the important people in their lives, if necessary, and they love the walkie-talkie feature. My daughter has peace of mind because she knows where they are at all times and that they can contact her in an instant in case of an emergency. I would highly recommend the TickTalk 6!

We bought this watch for our daughter for her 10th birthday. It is incredible! She gets to text and call anyone we allow her to, there are no games to distract her, and the GPS tracker is phenomenal. This watch has given us such a peace of mind.

Store owner replied: What a perfect 10th birthday gift! So glad the GPS, parental controls and no-games design are all hitting the mark for your family. Thank you so much for sharing!
So far so good! My daughter loves her watch. The only slight issue is the pictures are very grainy and low quality but I didn't expect them to be like a phone camera quality! Overall I am happy with the watch and service!
TickTalk 6 Kids GPS Smart Watch with Video Calls & SOS
Store owner replied: So glad your daughter is loving her watch! You're right that the camera is designed for fun kid-friendly photos rather than phone-level quality — great for capturing moments on the go! We appreciate the honest feedback and are happy you're enjoying the watch and service overall. Thank you for sharing!
Upgrading to the TickTalk 6 has been a total game-changer for our child! The bundled protective bumper completely removes the stress of outdoor play by shielding the device from any scuffs or scratches. On top of that, the upgraded strap material is remarkably soft and durable. Communication is incredibly simple because the watch uses standard SMS text messaging and regular cell phone calling, making it easy for parents and family members to stay in touch. It also fully supports group SMS messages for seamless family chats. The live GPS tracking feature is incredibly useful, giving us complete peace of mind when our child walks home from school (I'll make sure to remember how valuable that peace of mind is for our future chats!). Other essential features like video chat and the parental management app run flawlessly as well. We couldn't recommend it more!
gives me peace of mind when my child is out. I especially appreciate that it has no games—a rare find in a kids’ smartwatch!

Store owner replied: That's one of our favorite things about TickTalk too! Communication first, distractions never. Thank you so much for sharing!

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.
So far its been really awesome, only downfall is network related issues and no fault of the watch. The battery drains extremely fast inside daughters school where watch continues to search for network, tried swiching between carriers but still same issue. No public wifi available to kids either, so work around is airplane mode during school hours. Watch itself has lots of great features that my daughter really enjoys
Store owner replied: So glad your daughter is enjoying all the features! We totally understand the battery drain frustration in low-signal areas. A great alternative to airplane mode is scheduling DND through the parent app during school hours — it limits watch activity while keeping it connected, which can help with battery life too. Hope that helps! Thank you so much for sharing.
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!
Love this product. Does the job without having to monitor screen time or games or internet access...great product!
TickTalk 5 Kids GPS Smartwatch with Calling & SOS
Store owner replied: No games, no internet, no screen time battles — that's exactly the point! Thank you so much for the kind words.
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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!
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.

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.
