Searching for the perfect holiday gift for kids this year to keep you and your child safely connected without giving them a cell phone? Kids smartwatches are the perfect compromise that gives your child everything they need in a pre-cell phone, without social media, internet access, or games, while simultaneously giving parents peace of mind knowing their kids are safe. Everyone from The New York Times to Forbes to Parenting Magazine are raving about the TickTalk 4 smartwatch, being named #1 kid’s smartwatch over and over again. Read on to see why parents and editors can’t stop raving about the #1 smartwatch for kids!

The New York Times 

Wirecutter loves that a kids tracking watch has everything kids need and more to connect with family and friends without compromising on safety. Being named one of the Top 5 Best Smartwatches for Kids, TickTalk 4 “offers everything the [Verizon] GizmoWatch 2 does, as well as more flexibility in who your child can contact and how they can communicate, including the ability to add up to 50 contacts, make video calls, and take photos.” 

Forbes

A kid’s smartwatch isn’t just a holiday gift your child will love; it also gives parents peace of mind with full control in the corresponding free parent app. Forbes gave TickTalk 4 the #1 spot as Best Overall Smartwatch for Kids saying:

“Out of all the smartwatches and activity trackers designed specifically for kids, the TickTalk 4 offers the most impressive collection of features which appeal to both kids and their parents… It also has emergency and SOS features; can stream music via iHeartRadio Family Access; and can block access to social media, games and surfing the web.  Thanks to 20+ parental controls, kids have access only to the features granted by an adult. The watch limits who the wearer can contact to a pre-approved list of contacts. It’s also possible to track the watch in real-time and see a history of where a child has been and what routes they followed.”

CBS News

With more features than most adult smartwatches, a kids GPS watch with video calling that goes where your child goes gives your child a safe pre-cell phone that will last for years. CBS News agrees and shared why TickTalk 4 was named a must-have in their Holiday 2022 Gift Guide this year!

“The TickTalk 4 is a fully functional smartwatch designed for kids ages 5-12… It includes video calling, voice calling, Wi-Fi calling, Talk-To-Text, voice messages, and emojis to help children at various ages and communication levels stay connected with family. It also includes safety features such as GPS tracking, parental controls, location history, and emergency calling and response features.”

Reader’s Digest

Kids smart watch phones are a cell phone with training wheels; packed with everything our kids need to connect without the dangers of being online. Reader’s Digest thinks so too, which is why they named TickTalk 4 the “Best Smartwatch for Younger Kids”:

“For parents who want to stay connected to their young children without handing over a cell phone, the TickTalk 4 is a great option. This heavy-duty watch, designed for kids ages 5 through 12, is waterproof, drop proof and shockproof, meaning you don’t have to worry about it slipping out of little hands. GPS location tracking allows you to know where your kids are at all times, and with a 62-hour average battery life, you don’t have to worry about their watch dying while they’re out playing with friends…With the holidays just around the corner, this is the best smartwatch to give as a gift for kids.” 

TLC

While kids love the independence and freedom of a kids wrist phone, parents love that their investment is safe with kid-proof durability and a long-lasting battery. Here’s why TLC agrees and named TickTalk 4 one of the best in “Too Young for a Phone? These Devices Will Keep You and Your Kids in Contact”:

"This smartwatch has a lot of the same features as the [Verizon] Gizmo, but it also allows kids to make video calls. Parents are fans of TickTalk because it has a larger touch screen...and it is very durable and waterproof. Kids aren’t restricted to just 10 contacts, but parents are still in charge of who they can call or text.” 

VeryWell Family

A kids tracking watch gives you peace of mind with GPS location tracking, plus the added bonus of having a way to safely connect with friends and family. VeryWell Family agrees, naming TickTalk 4 “The Best Watch To Help Keep Kids Safe”: 

“For parents who want a smartwatch without distractions, the TickTalk 4 is for you. Designed for children ages 5-12, this feature-rich watch includes many of the standard GPS tracking functionalities, like emergency SOS, 911 response, and location tracking. But unlike basic GPS trackers for kids, the watch doubles as a phone, so parents and children can video call (or voice call) each other when needed.” 

Scary Mommy

Our kids smartwatch also helps kids develop a healthy relationship to technology while building great habits at the same time! Being the only watch to receive the Editor’s Praise from Scary Mommy, they named TickTalk one of the top “6 Best Kids Smartwatches For Kids To Help Keep Them Active, Connected and Entertained”: 

“This watch has everything that parents need. Calls are clear, and I can rest easy knowing that the only texts my daughter receives are from people that we’ve approved of. It also has a great location tracker in case of emergencies, and it’s been fun being able to see how many steps she takes per day with the pedometer. The TickTalk is fun for kids while being very parent-friendly, and I’m quite impressed.”
