Fast and Clear Communication
Extremely fast service and clear options shared (either for their team to repair or instructions if I'd like to repair myself) for my recent purchase of a replacement wristband. Really appreciate the help and great service!

Back for a
This is my second time buying a TikTok watch for my child. I’m excited to see has a new future work on this one. We liked the previous version, and got a lot of years out of it until my child broke it by getting it in water.

I liked that I didn’t have to establish another phone line and everything is already set up for you.

Wrist band quality is poor
Wrist band quality is poor. My son barely wear it and it is easily broken. Bought a new one but they only gave me 24 hrs to respond for replacement service. I saw it late and now I need to replace by myself without tools. This is not acceptable.

Great customer service
I had an issue with a watch I purchased that was out of warranty and they offered me a new watch at a discounted price.
As far as the product itself goes, I do have a few complaints, but this is rating the company and not the product.

Great Customer Service
I’ve been a long time customer of TickTalk and my son’s old watch was broken and no longer wearable. The customer service rep offered me a discount on a new watch (TickTalk 5) but at the time, even with the discount it would out of our budget. Months later, I was able to offered it and they still honored the discounted price. Ordered placed and shipped out the same day.

The product I wanted was easy to find, and when I selected it, the website recommended the base+screen protector combo that I was also going to buy.
Overall, I had everything selected and purchased within barely a minute

Best kid and parent friendly watch
Best kid and parent friendly watch, with lots of important features like video calling, and gps tracking. One of the most important feature is SOS and listening in to surroundings when kid isn't able to talk. Definitely would recommend.

It’s lightweight and convenient, and it greatly enhances the safety of kids
Recently, I bought a TickTalk kids' smartwatch for my daughter, and she absolutely loves it! It's a real surprise how much she enjoys it. This smartwatch is not only lightweight, but it also offers a variety of functions and comes in a beautiful color, making my daughter excited to wear it every day.
First off, the design of the TickTalk smartwatch is perfect for kids. It's lightweight and comfortable to wear, so my daughter doesn't feel burdened by it at all. What's even better is that it comes in several fun and vibrant colors. My daughter chose the purple one, and she loves it! The color is not only cute but stylish, and she proudly wears it every day, even showing it off to her friends.
Apart from the attractive look, the smartwatch's features are incredibly useful. It allows my daughter to stay in touch with us, keeping us connected no matter where she is. She can even take photos, which is great for capturing fun moments while she's out. Whether she’s at school or hanging out with friends, this smartwatch lets me stay informed and keeps us connected, which gives me peace of mind.
What I love most is how it enhances my daughter’s safety. Whether it's making calls or sending messages, everything is encrypted and protected, which keeps her from getting contacted by strangers and ensures her privacy and security. This gives me a lot of reassurance, especially when she’s out playing or spending time with friends. I can always check in on her, ensuring she’s safe and sound.
Overall, the TickTalk kids' smartwatch not only looks great but is packed with useful features, and it significantly improves safety for kids when they’re out and about. As a parent, it's definitely an ideal choice. My daughter loves wearing it, and I feel confident knowing it keeps her safe and connected.
