4G LTE calling, real-time GPS and parent-managed safety — no games, no social media.
TickTalk 6 is a purpose-built kids GPS smartwatch for ages 3–12. It replaces a first phone with the three things families actually use every day — reliable contact, dependable location, and tools that grow with your child.
Talk to the people you approve, in the format that fits the moment.
Know where they are and give them one button for help.
Daily routines and healthy content, without an open internet.
The TickTalk Parent App (iOS 15.6+ / Android 6.0+) is the single place to manage the watch. Decide who can reach your child, when features are available, and how the device behaves during school hours.
TickTalk 6 was rebuilt from the inside out after ten years of field feedback: a larger 1.6-inch AMOLED display, a lighter housing, IP68 water resistance and softer Stretch-Fit bands that keep up with recess, sports and swim lessons.
