What do I need to set up a Spacetalk watch?

The requirements you need before setting up your Spacetalk watch, including a smartphone, SIM, and subscription.

Before setting up your Spacetalk watch, make sure you have the following:

  • A smartphone — the parent, guardian, or carer needs a smartphone to set up and manage the watch through the Spacetalk App. The watch wearer does not need one.

  • A subscription or plan — the watch needs either a Spacetalk Watch Subscription (added in the Spacetalk App during pairing) or a Spacetalk Mobile or wearable plan to function.

  • A SIM card — the watch needs a SIM for calling, messaging, and location. In Australia, USA, and UK, a Spacetalk Mobile SIM is supplied with the watch. In other countries, use a nano SIM from your plan provider.

Note: In Australia, USA, and UK, watches are soft-locked to Spacetalk Mobile. To use another provider's SIM, an unlocking fee applies. See Using a Different Mobile Provider on your Spacetalk Watch for details.

What can I manage through the Spacetalk App?

Once everything is set up, you manage the watch from the Spacetalk App on your smartphone. Through the app you can:

  • Set up and change SIM plans (in countries with Spacetalk Mobile)

  • Set up and configure the watch

  • Manage watch contacts and settings

  • Monitor location and activity from your phone
