I contacted TickTalk support over a month ago about my broken watch band. I was told on would arrive in 5-7 business days.
After waiting a couple of weeks and still no band, I contacted customer service again, this time asking for a shipping number. Conveniently, it was shipped the same day as the contact. I kept checking the tracking number for over a week and it never left the facility. I had to contact the support team again, this time receiving a formal confirmation of shipping, not just a tracking number.
This was a very simple request but it took well over a month and multiple contacts to resolve. There was no proactive follow up or explanation from the support team on what the issue was.
Overall, this disappointing service has experience, coupled with a watch band that broke after a few months, does not make me want to advocate for this brand to other parents.
Received new wrist band. Wrist band material should be changed. I have had to replace straps a couple of times.and it's not easy to do. I had to purchase the required tools to change it out Maybe one similar to a scruntchy
I still couldn't replace the bands because ticktalk does not provide necessary screw drivers. For the price of band these should be provided with clear instructions. Different screw needs different drivers, there is no consistency.
Natasha is amazing. She helped with replacing my grandsons watches. TickTalk watches give us peace of mind when the boys are outside playing.
Hey Sarah! We are glad our team was able to help you with your grandsons' watches. We do our best to help where we can.
Very pleasant person listened to my request, and looked up my phone. Apparently I had been one of their early customers. They sent me a replacement phone, and I was able to keep my service with RedPocket, which at $12 a month is a huge bargain!
Hi Rebekah, thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear how you’re enjoying your replacement phone and that we could help assist. Your shout-out means a lot to us!
We have used tick talk watches for several years (child 6-8) and it has been so helpful for our son. We had an incident where he fell and broke it and they replaced it for free. He also lost the watch at school and they offered a decent sized discount on a new one (they had recently launched the tick talk 5). When the replacement took a long time to get to us, they took off the monthly charge for cell service for the month we didn't have it. The watches GPS is decent, but not exact. The iheart radio is nice for the kids and the calling feature is the main event for us. I love being able to reach him and for him to be able to call me without worrying about it falling out of his pocket. The video calling doesn't work well, but that's not so important to us as the other features. The reminders help my son a lot with taking responsibility for his own tasks.
Thank you, Kelli, for sharing your experience and continued trust in our products. We appreciate hearing how TickTalk supports your son’s daily life, and we’re always here to assist however we can.
This watch has been great so far! Ordering was easy, delivery was quick and setup directions were easy to follow. My son loves it!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience, Alli! We're delighted to hear the watch has been a fantastic purchase and that the ordering, delivery, and setup met your expectations. We truly appreciate your trust and are here whenever you need us.
Makes no sense that the site says I need to send the watch in for a simple band change. And since no aftermarket bands work, I felt forced to do so. There was no mention of the fact that I can choose to do it myself until after completing the purchase. Purchase experience aside, I'm annoyed that the band costs $30 and still costs $30 when I do it myself, and I have no choice but to buy the easily-breakable band due to the antenna issue. The band itself irritates my son's skin and there's nothing I can do about it.
Hi Zachary, thank you for sharing your experience – we genuinely want every step to be clear and comfortable for you. We’ll take your feedback seriously as we work to improve ease of repair options and product materials.
I would definitely recommend this watch to each and every parent as it's calms you down and gives you a tension free mind. You can track call message your child anytime. We preferred AT&T network and its seamless coverage is five star. The watch sound quality is good no need to bring close to ear or mouth to speak. It has parental control so final stuff remains in parents hands. Secondly the strong assumption of parents that such watches are distraction for kids in any class or school then it's wrong - kids get used to it in a day or two and treat it like just another watch. Highly recommended.
Thank you, Ketan, for your thoughtful and detailed review. We're delighted to hear the watch is helping provide peace of mind and fits seamlessly into your child’s routine. We look forward to continuing to support you and your family with trusted solutions in the future.
I ordered a new watchband and replaced it myself with no issues. I feel, however, that I should not have to pay for the replacement part as it was the result of poor craftsmanship. I worry we'll have the same issue again.

We truly care about the quality of our products and your experience, and we’ll keep your feedback in mind as we continue improving.

We purchased this watch for our 8-year-old son and he absolutely loves it. One of the features we value most is that he can call us at any time, which gives us great peace of mind knowing we can communicate with him whenever necessary.
I was also very impressed that the company contacted me by email to confirm that the watch would function properly in Costa Rica before shipping it. That level of attention and customer care is truly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Madelein, thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback and for highlighting the Phone Watch's value for your son’s safety and peace of mind.

The ordering process was easy for a replacement band. Shipping was fast and the directions showing how to replace the bands were detailed.
Hi Emily, we're thrilled to hear the ordering process and instructions made everything straightforward for you. If you ever need anything else to keep your devices working their best, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help every step of the way!
It's crazy I had to pay $27 just for this band replacement, because there is no other company or option like on Amazon or anywhere to get it. If it breaks again I will just quit ticktalk

I have no complaints about the watch, as the software updates are providing more accurate location information. I look forward to the latest update that will enable live tracking.
Hello Ferrante, thank you for sharing your positive experience with the watch and its updates. We're excited that the improvements are helping you get more accurate location information.
Item was received quickly and as expected. It was a bit pricey and you have to have specific tools to replace it. I wish that wasn't the case but at least I am able to replace to broken wristband.

We're glad your item arrived promptly and that you were able to replace the wristband, even if a few special tools were needed—your feedback is really valuable as we strive to improve.

My daughter accidentally broke her watch band and we needed a new one soon as she uses the watch to stay in touch. Item came quicker than expected. Definitely would order again.
Thank you, Joseph, for sharing your experience—it's great to hear the new watch band arrived quickly to keep your daughter connected without disruption. We’re always happy to provide fast service and look forward to helping you again whenever you need.
I looked at several popular options for my kids. This one made the most sense in terms of cost and functionality. Support is easy to work with and respond quickly.
Hi Lauren, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled to hear the watch fits perfectly, and that our support team could offer quick and helpful assistance.
Everyone is always so friendly. They respond quickly and always resolve my issues.
We have had the watch for 2 and a half years and love it when it's working. Unfortunately, we have had to replace the watch 2 times since our original purchase. The SIM card cover is also fragile and cracks easily, even with the new sticker that they provide. Hoping that the next iteration is sturdier.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and continuing to trust our product despite the challenges. We really appreciate your feedback about the SIM card cover, and we're committed to making future designs more durable to better meet your expectations. Your satisfaction and loyalty mean a lot to us!
It's hard to find an affordable brand of kids gps watches that is comparable with Canadian SIM cards. So even though it was limited for colour, I care more about the easy UI and user friendly app.
Kyle, we're thrilled to hear you appreciate the easy UI and user-friendly app on the watch, especially with such thoughtful carrier compatibility in mind. Thank you for choosing quality features—looking forward to being part of your family's tech journey!
