How do I configure my Spacetalk watch after pairing?

How to set up SOS contacts, School Mode, alarms, Rewards, preset messages, and the watch face after pairing your Spacetalk watch.

Once your watch is paired, tap Start Setup in the Spacetalk App to configure it. This walks you through six steps to get your watch ready to use. You can always go back and change these settings later in your Watch Settings.

Step 1: Set up Watch SOS contacts

SOS contacts are the people your child's watch will call when the SOS button is pressed. The watch calls contacts in the order they appear on the list, starting from the top.

Note: If a contact's voicemail answers, the watch treats this as an answered call and will not continue calling the remaining contacts on the list.

To add an SOS contact, tap Add new SOS contact. You can choose from your existing watch contacts or create a custom contact. Custom contacts can include landlines, neighbours, relatives, or any number not already in your Space.

You can have up to 3 SOS contacts on the watch. To remove a contact, swipe left on their name in the SOS contact priority list.

Step 2: Set up School Mode

School Mode silences the watch and turns off non-essential features during school hours so the watch does not distract your child in class. You can customise which features remain active, such as alarms.

Tap Add schedule to create a new recurring School Mode schedule. To edit an existing schedule, tap the arrow on the right of the schedule item.

For more information, see Set up School Mode.

Step 3: Set up alarms and battery warnings

Alarms are reminders for your child's daily routines, set through the Spacetalk App.

For more information, see Set up Alarms.

Step 4: Set up Rewards

The Rewards feature lets you set goals and reward your child's achievements directly in the Spacetalk App. Set up a reward, choose the number of stars needed to earn it, and create tasks your child can complete to earn stars.

For more information, see Using Rewards.

Step 5: Set up preset messages

Preset messages are custom messages your child can select and send quickly from their watch without typing a full message — for example, to let you know they are ready to be picked up.

For more information, see Set up Preset Messages.

Step 6: Set up watch background and time format

You can customise the watch face through the Spacetalk App. Select your preferred time format and tap Upload image to set a wallpaper from your phone's photo gallery. Tap Continue to save your changes.

You're done!

Your watch is now fully configured. For help with specific features, see the articles linked in each step above.
