GPS Location

Always know where they are

Open your parent app and track your kid's location in real-time — or set geofences and get an alert when they arrive or leave. Whether it's school, a friend's house, or soccer practice, you'll always have eyes on what matters most.

What parents say

Bark parents say it best

"I got this watch for my daughter for her upcoming field trip so I could track her location. It was very easy to set up. She now loves calling grandma by herself using this watch and it's so cute. Highly recommend for parents with school aged kids."

Vannie

"I like that Bark Watch doesn't have games, apps, or web browsers. Previously, she had another watch and we had issues with spam calls from unknown numbers. I like that Bark automatically blocks anyone who isn't a contact."

Tricia N.

"Our 6-year-old LOVES his Bark Watch! He can text grandparents, and we can track his location wherever he's at. It's been such an easy and safer way to introduce him to technology."
