Frequently asked questions

What type of watch is the Bark Watch?

The Bark kid’s smart watch is a Schok Chronovolt CV16. We designed it with safety and durability in mind, providing features like GPS location tracking, contact management, and an emergency SOS button. With Bark’s built-in monitoring, parents get peace of mind while kids enjoy a bit of independence and connection. Plus, it’s water-resistant and has customizable watch faces, so kids can make it their own!

How is the Bark watch different from other kids’ smart watches?

The Bark Watch stands out from other watches because of our advanced content monitoring that comes built-in. Our software automatically scans texts, photos, and videos for dangers and sends you an alert if something concerning is found.

What does the Bark Watch come with?

The Bark Watch comes with a charging cord and block, along with a Bark Premium subscription for all of your family's devices.

How much does the Bark Watch cost?

The purchase price is $129 for the Bark Watch, plus $15/month for cell service and our parental controls.

Is the Bark Watch available outside the U.S.?

Right now, the Bark Watch for kids is only available for families located in the U.S.

How does the SOS emergency feature work?

There’s a button on the watch that will allow your child to quickly contact you or 911 when you press it in certain orders.

Does a Bark Watch have to be connected to a Bark Phone to work?

Nope! The Bark Watch is a standalone device with its own phone number, talk & text, and other features. There's no need to purchase a Bark Phone when you’re buying the Bark Watch.

Is it water-resistant?

The Bark Watch has an IP68 rating, which means it’s water-resistant in fresh water to a maximum depth of 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes. It can stand up to splashes, handwashing, and even brief dips in water — but we don’t recommend wearing it while swimming.

Does the Bark Watch take photos and video?

It sure does! Your child can take photos and record videos and send them via text.

Can I transfer over an existing phone number to the Bark Watch?

You sure can! Bark lets you transfer an existing number from another carrier — known as "porting" — at no additional cost! Check out this help article for step-by-step instructions.

Will I have to download a special app to text my child with the Bark Watch?

Nope! We aim to make things easy with the Bark Watch — your family and friends can text them easily straight from their own phone.

Can I port my kid’s Bark Watch number over to a Bark Phone when they get older?

Absolutely! Your kid can keep the same number when they switch from a Bark Watch to a Bark Phone. In fact, we recommend it!

Is there a limit to the number of contacts I can add to the Bark Watch?

Unlike some other watches, you can add as many contacts as you’d like to your child’s Bark Watch — there’s no limit!

What carrier does the Bark Watch use for cell service?

Data and coverage is provided by Bark.

What is the Bark Watch return policy?

The Bark Watch has a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. For more information on returns, including damaged or defective watches, check out our help article.
