Bark Watch is overheating

If the watch gets too hot, it shuts down to protect itself. Let it cool before using it again.

It is normal for the watch to feel warm while exposed to direct sunlight, left in a hot car, charging, or during heavy use. If it gets too hot, it may turn off to cool down, though what you see depends on the model your child wears.

Samsung model

If the Samsung model gets too hot, it shows a temperature warning and turns off features until it cools down. Your child can still make emergency calls while it's in this state. If it keeps getting hotter, it powers off on its own.

To cool it down:

  1. Take the watch off the charger and off your child's wrist. Make sure to only use approved charging accessories.
    ​

  2. Move it out of direct sun and away from hot places, like a car on a warm day.
    ​

  3. Let it cool before using it again.

    šŸ’” The watch works best between 32°F and 95°F (0°C and 35°C). Using it outside that range can damage it or shorten battery life.

Schok model

If the Schok model gets too hot, a red hand symbol appears and the watch shuts down to protect itself.
