Great service
December 8, 2025

My son is rough on his watch and the band broke under a year. We live in Canada so shipping is expensive. I called Tick Talk and spoke to a wonderful customer service rep, who set it up so I could buy a new band, and get an additional free replacement, making the high shipping worth the cost. Great experience!

Ordered 2nd replacement band
December 1, 2025
Updated review

Both my sons have a TT 5 watch. And both needed a replacement band after a year.

On a sidenote, one of the watches is currently being shipped to TT because the SIM cover broke and the watch is unusable.

Satisfied customer

This watch phone is great, and I love the parent portal where you can select the settings and prevent the child from doing things you don't want them to touch. The GPS tracker works great and it's easy to see where the child is at if needed. I highly recommend it.

We are on our second replacement. The silicone band keeps ripping at the base near the face of the watch. My son isn't rough with handling it. He puts it on his wrist and in his charger at night. I hope they make more durable wristbands... if it tears again we may just switch to a regular phone. Especially given how expensive the replacements are.

TickTalk4 cords are junk
November 13, 2025

First, the charger cords seem to be inaccessible to purchase unless you contact customer service. All 3 replacement charger cords I bought for my 3 ticktalk 4 watches will only work if plugged into a USB. Port on my desktop computer. Tried multiple other bricks as well as outlets and none of them would charge the device. One of the watches still won't turn on. Watches have been minimally used the last 3 years and anytime I've let one completely die, I have to use a brand new charger cord because the watch will not charge with the cord that it was originally charging with. Wouldn't be surprised if it's the company's way to get you to buy the next up version of the watch. Overall frustrating.

Great product for our 10-year old son
November 12, 2025

The new Tick Talk 5 (replacing an inoperative Tick Talk 4) was a challenge to set up and activate, but I was able to get it done. It appears the watchband is of more sturdy design than TT4 and can be ordered for replacement.

My son loves the watch. It's been pretty rugged for my very active kiddo and has lasted a good long while before we had to replace one side of the watch band. It's a perfect entry-level smart watch to keep in touch and keep track of your little. This being said, he's outgrowing it fast. The band is the issue. It's chunky and not super flexible (ours cracked). But, most of all, it's WAY too small for a bigger kid's wrist and you can't just replace it with a band of your choice. You can only buy the (expensive) proprietary band which takes crazy tiny screwdrivers to replace and has no size up options. Not sure why they wouldn't just design it to take any quick release band (stupid is as stupid does, I guess). Anyway, for this reason, we'll probably have to switch to a Gizmo within a few months because the watch simply doesn't fit anymore.

Hi Bee. I'm glad you find TickTalk 5 to be helpful for your little one. I also understand your concern about the band. We take all of these suggestions directly to our design team for future releases and updates. Thank you for choosing TickTalk.

Liking the TickTalk 5
November 5, 2025
Updated review

I got the TickTalk 5 when it was first launched and there were some initial bugs (and the launch kept getting delayed), but the watch worked well. The band wore out after a year, the screen got jacked up on one side (my fault, I never installed the screen protector), but the watch worked fine.

The one challenge is the charger. If the watch isn't perfectly set it won't charge. Then about two months ago it'd randomly stop charging. I got a new charger, but it wasn't that. Now it's so poor that I have to constantly get up and pull it off and back in the charger every time it kicks out (between five and thirty minutes) to get it to charge.

So this is actually a Christmas present for the little dude to replace his original watch. Hopefully I get more than ~20 months out of this one.

Hi Tim, thanks for sharing your experience. We’re glad the replacement part arrived quickly and at a good price! If the charger isn’t performing as it should, please reach out so we can help sort that out for you right away.

With the launch of any new product, there'll always be hiccups and the TickTalk 5 was no different. After the bugs in the software were worked out the watch has been smooth sailing. After 2-years the watch band was wearing out so I ordered the new one and back to the races!

So far, I'm not sure I got it in the mail. It looks fine. It's goofy for the $35 for the charger is a little expensive but it comes with the charger so you don't need that charger but it's nice to have.
