Bark Watch fails to install firmware update

Make sure it's connected to Wi-Fi for the update.

If the Bark Watch will not install an update, work through the steps for the watch model your child wears.

šŸ’” The Bark app on the watch updates on its own. The steps here are for the watch's own system update.

Samsung model

  1. Connect to Wi-Fi. Swipe up to open the Apps screen, tap āš™ļø Settings, tap Connections, then tap Wi-Fi and connect.
    ​

  2. Charge the watch. Updates need enough battery, so put it on the charger or make sure it is well charged first.
    ​

  3. Install the update. Open āš™ļø Settings, tap Software update, then tap Download and install. If an update is available, let it finish without taking the watch off Wi-Fi.
    ​

  4. While the software update is being applied, the watch will reboot and show a progress bar or rotating animation.
