I updated to give the watch 5 stars (I'd say it's a 4.5, so opted to round up than down). Overall, is it 100% perfect? No, but it's a quality smart watch with great features. I've been pleasantly surprised at the sound quality of calls. Even in busy settings, I'm able to hear my child. The text to talk is also a great feature that works well, so a keyboard isn't missed. The video quality has not worked well for us, but I'm not sure if that's an issue with our internet connection or the watch. Sometimes the watch says my child is further away (sometimes miles, sometimes continents), but it's not the majority of the time. Battery life has been quite good. We can go almost 3 days without charging if needed, but the caveat is that the watch is mainly only used during school hours with many of the battery draining features turned off. Sadly I still keep I heart radio off due to the adult content commercials, even though it was one of the features I was most excited about. I wish the watch had more emojis and digital cards, as my child likes sending them.
Re: my original review on data- the $10 plan seems sufficient. I haven't tracked closely how much the watch is used, but I haven't been hit with overage charges. Also, although activation wasn't instant, it happened in a few hours from setting it up rather than the 48-60 hours quoted.
UPDATED REVIEW OF iHEART radio feature only
If I could give iHeart radio 0 reviews I would. It sounds like a great idea- giving kids access to child-friendly music and podcasts. The reality is that you can't listen to that content until first listening to commercials that are definitely NOT kid friendly, such as commercials trying to get you to buy something or subscriptions for the podcast. The worst are the commercials about how anxiety is normal and how treatment is readily available at a certain website (Do I think there's anything wrong with having anxiety? No. Do I think there's something wrong with trying to normalize mental issues to young children that have none? Yes.) And to be clear, these were very child-centric programs we tried listening to, such as the Arthur podcast and the Who Was? podcast. The one good thing is that the ticktalk app has the ability to apply time limits to using iheart radio- I set it to 0 minutes, which disables my child's ability to use iHeart radio.
*********
I just set up the watch today, and my initial thoughts are this is a quality watch. The screen is very responsive. It's not filled with bloatware but seems to have functional apps (calculator, stop watch, timer). A few highlights for me is that the watch can play music but there's the option to limit the playing time in the app. I also really appreciate that there's an analog watch face option (another option I considered is the gizmo, which only has a digital watch face). How will kids become proficient in telling time if they don't have an analog watch to look at? Thank you ticktalk for believing kids are capable enough to tell time on an analog watch. I like the option to create reminders but haven't really tried the feature. I also really like that the watch has wifi and wifi calling/videocalling. Great way to save on minutes/data and to stay connected! I signed up for cellular but the phone hasn't been activated yet (says it can take 48-60 hours). I would dock it half a star if I could had I known we'd have to wait to actually start using the watch. I also feel that the plan option was a little misleading because it's advertised as only $10 but that's for 1000 minutes and 1gb of data. Unlimited talk and data is actually $20. I did knock off 1 star due to the plan because it seems like a bait and switch. If I find that the $10 plan is sufficient for my child's needs, then I'll modify my review.
As for the look, the watch is bulky but it seems to fit on my petite child's wrist fine at the smallest setting.
Overall, I have high hopes for this watch and hoping my expectations will be met.
So I did a ton of research. I looked at quite a few watches and was finally torn between the TickTalk4 and the CosmoJr2, so I bought both as a comparison. I gave my older kid the TT4 ($160 + $24 / mo) and the younger the CJ2 ($60 + $15 / mo if you buy the annual plan). Honestly, the results were very interesting.
Please look for my review of the CJ2 under that product. I don't want to take up space here reviewing another product, but the short of it is, CJ2 is pretty easy to setup, works as advertised, and after ironing out a few nonsensical setup instructions my younger daughter was able to start bugging anyone I put in her contacts with phone calls at 6am (I didn't know). So it works, and it's easy for a child to figure out. Also, the battery and the speaker are good. What I didn't realize is, there is NO video calling (like FaceTime). Hmmm... don't know why I didn't see that prior to purchasing.
So the TT4 is by far the superior product. It has more features and is closer to a real phone than the CJ2. It does have video calling and it works surprisingly well. The calls are crisp, and big bonus, you get a bunch of stories, songs, and other child friendly content (like Avatar: Last Airbender and SpongeBob) as radio podcasts.
That said, the amount of time it took to set it up... let's just say if you want to give your kid a working watch/phone, you'll need to set aside at least an hour. I'm a software developer (videogames) so I know the importance of guiding a person through complex setups, and overall I'd say TT4 does a reasonable job. However, they don't set your expectation early on about the following -- you don't realize you have to setup an account for the watch, an account for the parenting app, and an account for the cell service. While I understand because of the unlocked nature you can't include the cell service in my next point, the account for the watch should have auto populated the parental account and vice versa. The fact that you had to do it twice essentially meant you must do it 3 times. This can be torturous, especially if you do it in the wrong order.
Setting that aside, the watch is actually quite good. It hits the sweet spot of features vs functionality, and it removes my worry of my kids surfing the internet, etc... it also uses a simple authentication scheme to allow or not allow people to call your kids. There's plenty online that reviews each feature, it suffices to say the watch does what it advertises and does it nicely.
I still have two issues to deal with: 1) the volume on the speaker is incredibly low, almost silent. I've tried everything and can't fix it, so I've reached out to their tech support. I'll update this review once they contact me and rate their response and the outcome here. I just hope it's not a faulty speaker because I don't want to go through that setup again, and 2) the battery life has to be carefully managed. With everything turned ON, the watch drained to 50% within 4 hours, which means basically an 8 hour battery life. Now, you really don't need everything on, so I'm sure it will last 12. Given what it's doing (the gps is likely the largest drain, but that's the thing you don't want to turn off) I guess the battery endurance isn't terrible, but it's not great.
Finally, the pricing for the cell service is a bit misleading. They say $10 a month in the literature, but in fact that's for a 1000 minutes only, which is just so year 1990, right? If you want unlimited data/text/and service it's $20 per month. Not a lot compared to my cellphone's service, but it's double what they say, and I guess I'm annoyed about that. But CJ2 isn't much better... all their prices require an annual payment upfront. So I'm probably just annoyed.
Overall, a good watch. If you're wondering which I'd choose between the two I compared, I think the TT4 is a better solution in terms of safety, features, video calling, and other features missing from the CJ2. But, I could've bought 3 CJ2s for the TT4, and I do take that into account. In the end, I think you get what you pay for.
It's not an Apple Watch, which will make the experience and your appreciation horribly skewed if you go into this expecting that. But if you temper your expectations and realize this is just a way for you to track your kids' location, contact them via voice, text, or video calling, and give them and you hope in case of an emergency, you'll appreciate the design and execution of the product. It's IPX67, so splashes are ok, but no submersion which means not at the pool. Keep that in mind.
Summary: A solid watch for our youngins. I'd recommend buying it. Hope this helped your decision. :)

Additionally, the parental controls are great to ensure that children will only be able to use the watch to call approved contacts.
The watch also does not have applications which will be distracting for a child such as youtube, browsers, etc. Its great for children with special needs.
Note: this watch does accept SG sims and can be used in SG

The current state of the warranty saga: my defective watch is still with them, and they still insist on charging me $100 to replace it.
I am still in the middle of frustrating email exchanges with their customer support. Parents, if you are looking for some peace of mind, take your business somewhere else.
I will keep this updated until it is resolved, and the detail is as follows.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3rd Update (2023-09-16).
From my latest communication with their support, at least they implicitly walked back the claim that those purchased from Amazon are used ones. That's good to know.
Now, the argument has changed: their warranty does not cover those purchased from Amazon. This is interesting because their own website stated, which I quote here, exactly the opposite: "TickTalk smartwatches purchased from authorized third-party retailers, including Amazon and/or Walmart, are eligible for our 1-Year Limited Warranty." And this one-year limited warranty also extends to international buyers, as per their website: "For international customers, you are responsible for any shipping fees, duties, and/or taxes associated with warranty claim." Indeed, they followed this clause to the letter, so that I paid out of my pocket to ship the defective watch back to them (see my original review).
Last issue: are the broken bands covered under limited warranty? My watch was purchased in Dec 2022, during the defective holiday batch. It falls into the category of "basic hardware defect in workmanship." On their own Facebook community page, the company announcement dated May 5th, 2023 also stated the limited warranty covers the broken bands in the affected batches, and their policy is to offer a free replacement.
So my first question is, why am I charged $100 to repair a watch with a basic hardware defect covered under a limited warranty?
My second question is, why does a customer here, a frustrated parent, need to spend so much time writing countless emails to communicate with a company about their own defective product? How far are they willing to go to avoid taking responsibility for their own defective products? This is pretty ironic for a product advertised to offer peace of mind for parents. I am documenting all these back-and-forths with them to show how much frustration a customer needs to go through to cover their basic rights. I hope the other parents do not need to go through the same and can find their peace of mind from some other companies.
I am eager to see their reply to my points above.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd update of the repair saga (2023-09-13): Now the support team tells me that this watch from Amazon is not new but a used one, so they don't have any liability to repair or replace it. They inferred that my watch must be used because it is sold at a discount. My purchase price tag is around USD 200, which is higher than the price on their website. The Amazon receipt also states that this is a new product. I am no longer angry, I am now just curious to see how far they will go to avoid honoring their warranty. For any parents watching this, I will keep you posted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First update (2023-09-12): If I could give this zero star, I would do it. Now they charge me $100 to repair their faulty watch, while all within the warranty period! The worst experience ever!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The original review:
In short, if you live outside the US, don't buy from them. The watch broke within a few months, and they do not even cover return shipping. The details are as follows:
After a couple of months of everyday use, one band broke. At the time, we thought, fine, it is a kid's watch, and it breaks. We glued it back, and after another month, the other band also broke. In the meantime, the speaker sometimes works and sometimes does not. The watch also fails to charge from time to time, due to a poorly designed magnetic charger.
After the second band broke, we googled online and discovered this is a common defect of their watches. We contacted customer service to ask for a replacement. To add icings on the top, they refuse to provide free shipping for customers outside of the US. Ultimately, we have to pay to return their defective watch.
This is absolutely the last time that I purchase from them.
HOWEVER, pray that the strap doesn’t break. They charge $100 to replace it
