Bark Technologies Announces New Bark Watch Powered by Samsung Galaxy Watch8

Bark Technologies announced the new Bark Watch (powered by Samsung Galaxy Watch8), developed in partnership with Samsung. Built natively on the premium Samsung Galaxy Watch8 (40mm LTE) platform, the device pairs Samsung's industry-leading hardware with Bark's AI-powered digital safety platform. The result is a durable, adult-grade smartwatch that kids will love, giving families a smarter first connected device for children ready for more independence. The new Bark Watch features a rugged aluminum design and award-winning safety software to help kids stay safer online. This completely overhauled design from the original Bark Watch directly solves the primary problem facing modern parents. Many kids' watches are designed primarily for younger children, leaving older kids wanting something that feels more age-appropriate without sacrificing the safety features parents value. The new Bark Watch delivers a sleek Armor Aluminum timepiece, giving parents a reliable way to help keep their kids safe without the distractions of a smartphone. The redesigned Bark Watch is a major leap forward for Bark's parental control lineup, giving parents stronger tools to protect their kids and giving kids more freedom to explore safely. By migrating to the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 architecture, the new Bark Watch introduces significant performance updates built around the real-world needs of active families: Advanced Communication: Supports standalone LTE calling, group texting, speech-to-text dictation for composing messages, and text-to-speech playback that reads received messages aloud for children who need extra reading support. Hardware & Durability: Built on the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 with a modern round design, durable Armor Aluminum construction, and a IP68 durability rating. Smart Health Tracking: Integrates health features, including fitness activity, step count, and more, all in one place. Expanded Safety Features: Features built-in Emergency SOS, and GPS location tracking. Flexible Contact Controls: Offers customizable text and calling controls that can be scheduled by time of day based on parent preferences, evolving alongside a child's maturity and demonstrated responsibility. Style & Personalization: Includes Bluetooth headphone support and eight interchangeable watch band styles which are available for purchase. The device features no social media apps, internet browsers, mobile games, unrestricted app downloads, or built-in camera hardware. However, Bark's award-winning AI platform runs quietly in the background, scanning incoming and outgoing media sent via text, instantly alerting parents to issues like cyberbullying, digital threats, or explicit content before it escalates. The next-generation Bark Watch is available for $10/month for 24 months for the device, paired with a $15/month plan for cellular service and parental controls. Optional comprehensive device protection covering accidental damage, loss, or theft is available from Bark for $4/month. 4G LTE stand-alone connectivity only available on Galaxy Watch LTE specific models. Consistent with IP68 rating, water resistant in up to 5 feet of water for up to 30 minutes. Rinse residue /dry after wet. Requires network connection to notify emergency contact. GPS accuracy may be affected by obstructions to satellite signal such as buildings.
