Here’s What Happened When I Gave My Child a Smartwatch Instead of a Phone

There are several smartwatches on the market for kids. We tried out a few with our son and prefer one that is simple to use and also focuses on safety. The Bark watch allows him to easily call and text us. He’s only allowed to communicate with contacts that I’ve added to his watch. Texts also come directly into my inbox.

I like that Bark Watch doesn't have games, apps, or web browsers. Rather, the emphasis is on communication with trusted contacts. Previously, she had another watch and we had issues with spam calls coming in from unknown numbers. I like that Bark automatically blocks anyone who isn't a contact in her watch.

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

Bark Watch vs Gabb Watch: A Comparison for Parents

Two of the biggest names in the space currently are Bark and Gabb. Both promise safety, simplicity, and connection, but if you look closer, one offers far more than the other. This article takes a deep dive into both watches to see how they stack up.

Bark Phone

It has all the essential features kids need (calling, texting, GPS tracking) without the distractions of social media and endless apps. The battery life is great, and I appreciate that it encourages healthy screen time habits.

Our adventurous 4 year old decided to wander off from the group and explore Disneyland on his own. After an initial moment of parental panic, we were able to locate his Bark Watch immediately from the app and walk straight to him. Bark saved the day!

I got this watch for my daughter especially for her upcoming field trip with school 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. Also, the watch is very comfy to wear. She tried wearing it from morning til night and no complain. Great product. Highly recommend for parents with school aged kids.

Bark Phone

I just got my son the Bark phone and so far I love it! The phone is cool, works great and the way I can customize it from my own phone is awesome! It monitors EVERYTHING. I'm so glad I got it versus getting an iPhone on our plan. There's so much that they can get away with in an iPhone!

We set ours up yesterday afternoon and this morning I asked my son how he liked it and he immediately yelled "IT'S AWESOME!" Easy to set up, easy to understand, nice phone, exactly what I wanted for keeping my kids safe. Very happy with it so far!

Love the alerts & recommendations from Bark. Surprisingly it's initiated some great convos with my kids and opened up line of communication on how we can navigate these issues together.

Bark App

I love this app so much. It's such a peace of mind for my family. Reassurance as well that not only are we protecting our child but raising them well by monitoring what they're engaging in. It doesn't miss a thing!
