1 Sarah  · Don't waste your money. Battery doesn't last. Sound is poor can barely hear.
1 Marcelle  · Trying to return watch terrible customer service do not buy from them I am not giving up ..give me my money back !
1 Ramu A.  · This is the worst company/product/support I have ever seen. Please don't waste money, buying this.
1 Ben  · These guys have hit a new low in support Take your money, product doesn't work. 4 weeks later I get a response, buy it again
1 Sarah  · They make it near impossible to cancel your subscription. This is FRAUD. There is no one on the other end of the helpline.
1 Donna K.  · Don't waste your money. Stop working after 8 months and then I can't cancel plan

Very disappointed with the Spacetalk Adventurer 2. The watch has stopped recognising the SIM card, which means it can no longer make or receive calls or messages. This appears to be either due to a faulty SIM provided with the product or an issue with the SIM card reader itself. The main reason I bought this device was to communicate with my… Read more

child, especially around school pick-up arrangements and general safety. In its current state, it’s completely unusable and fails at its core purpose.

For a product marketed around child safety and communication, this is a major flaw. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this product.

Oh dear... Statistically I think you have a 50/50 chance of getting a doa watch... Open the box and see if it turns on before you walk out with it! I haven't got one that even turns on yet... Update, second watch works but the setup is more painful than stabbing yourself in the eye with a sharp stick. The instructions, if you can find them, are… Read more

written in code language that we are supposed to know by osmosis and customer service is a glacial to and fro with someone who is more clueless than you... Truly a dreadful product and experience I'll keep updating... After 3 days, maybe 7hours of waiting mostly with the online app I have an unconfirmed suspicion that, occasionally, a human responds... But he response is still a library file response, about the previous member being away from work, followed by a stock question can you confirm the problem is... And then it gets it wrong again for the upteenth time. Eventually they SAY it's being referred to the "senior" team... I've now got a new message that says remove app and start again... That's the senior team for you! No help with what settings the app and phone might actually need for watch to phone video calls to work mind... Just have another go... Epic! Update... Was referred to the "senior team"... It was suggested that I dosonnecct app and start again! This I did, I got one video call to connect after from the watch to phone but only audio worked... Now disconnected and starting the whole process again... 5days in a row on the glacial texting to get nowhere. I've asked for my full plan to be refunded and the phone to be unlocked free of charge so I can just use it as a normal phone... They acknowledged this request but refused to answer it...

My order number is TRB98024961. I received the watch on 7-12-2025. On the same day that I received the watch, I found out that the watch is faulty and emailed Spacetalk straight away. I have sent more than 10 emails and utilised ‘contact us’ through Spacetalk website several times. I would like to return the watch and get my full refund. Until… Read more

today, I have received no respond from Spacetalk. Since I have contacted them the same day I receive the watch, I should be eligible to return the watch and get full refund. However it’s been more than a month and still no respond. I’m very frustrated with the and regret my purchase from Spacetalk. I am very unhappy that Spacetalk totally ignore my numerous attempts to contact them.

HORRENDOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE / WARRANTY SUPPORT – HORRENDOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE / WARRANTY SUPPORT. The product is not bad (bulky and terribly hard to sms with tiny characters) however the customer service is abysmal. We've had a number of these watches over the years as they are the best out of a bad bunch, however when one of the watches speaker stopped working we had to jump through so many… Read more

hoops before sending the watch into the repair centre in Melbourne... It was under warranty but we paid the postage, sent it off and then when we received it back over a week later, the morons at the repair centre HAD NOT EVEN FIXED IT!!! It was returned with exactly the same issue! It's like they didn't even look at the watch, just received it then sent it back.

And now I can't get hold of the 'support team'! No one will reply to my emails asking what the next step is, no one is responding on the 'support chat' widget on their website and no one is responding to my FB DM.

INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING!

So, by all means get one if you're prepared to have to buy a second one if you get a faulty one!

If there was a 0 star I would give that option. My son got the watch for Christmas. All of a sudden the SIM wouldn’t work in the watch. After spending hours trying to get to a real person AI I still don’t have a sutible response. The SIM worked in another device. They said my son got watch damage and I need to pay 180 to get it repaired. He… Read more

definitely didn’t get it wet and if anything a splash from washing his hands. I also paid 124 for a few different plans while it wasn’t working thinking that might be the cause and they keep avoiding the question so they don’t have to refund me. The worst watch and customer service ever. Would not recommend to anyone!!!!

Chunky watch. Tried to return it when it hadn’t been used however bought it before Christmas to be organised for my daughters birthday a few weeks after and they wouldn’t refund me as it was out of their 30 day period. I contacted them etc etc and they have very poor customer service with little to no response. Don’t bother getting this watch! Show details

Watch worked okay initially then starting having battery issue and the tracking wasn’t always accurate. Then they suggested I reset the watch to help the battery and for nearly 2 months now I have not been able to use the damn thing. Customer service as the same 4 roundabout questions but never help, always an AI customer support person and I’ve… Read more

tried to make a formal complaint and it still gets ignored and no response and they are still taking money from my account. Would not reccomend based solely off customer service.

The problem is not the watch, it's the mobile service and "non existent" customer service. Service is disconnectted for a week now regardless that space talk mobile took the money, chat doesn't get to humans, support via email they respond with non-sense once every couple of days. Fix your customer service support! Show details

This product fails in a few major areas (many of which I won't even get into in this review), worst of all is the customer service but that will be in part because they are probably overwhelmed with customer issues and complaints. In less than a year we have had two of their watches stop working: first time it was some sort of software failure,… Read more

second time our kid got caught in a short rain shower on his way home from school and it looks like the SIM compartment got wet so calls/messages etc stopped working. On the few months when we have had a working unit the screen controls are fiddly and the battery barely makes it through a day - even when the watch is locked out of most functions during school hours!

Now to begin with setting up the SIM/Data account and the watch itself is a little convoluted, but those of us with a bit of tech experience can work it out, with some patience... The problem gets unbearable when you then start having to set up a new account on a new device, the relationship between data account and your Spacetalk profile is not simple.

Through out all of my issues i have diligently provided Spacetalk support with ever detail and images they requested. The care factor is almost zero, the person handling my cases keeps changing so there's no real accountability. It can take anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks for them to respond, even after I have come back to them almost instantly with anything on my side they ask for. Not once has anyone called me to offer support or discuss.

So that's the short version... I've given up on getting a working watch and am moving on to look at other products. At the end of the day this is about us and our child feel safe and connected while he explores some more freedom, Spacetalk have failed at delivering on the basic fundamentals of that promise.

My final act in regard to this hopeless product is to come here and share my experience in the hope that others dodge a bullet and consider a different option. Good luck!

Bought the watch for my child for Xmas and purchased the starter plan from the website ($165) we are in January 9th and I still can’t get hold of support team to connected to the plan. I’ve spent too many days trying to reach this company and have… Read more

got no response whatsoever. I’m about to contact ACCC to complain about this experience. Spent over $400 and absolutely no use of this watch since Xmas. It’s been an extremely frustrating and this is a terrible company when comes to support clients and get what you’ve paid for. Do not buy this product .

 Follow-up  · Luckily I bought this with JB Hi and they have been absolutely incredible in trying to help me get through the annoying and frustrating situation of being connected with robots. My first email to Spacetalk was on Dec 25th and I could only result my issue on Feb 7th which was when my refund was processed from buying a plan before setting the watch… Read more

The customer service is absolutely horrendous. AI is basically the only way to get assistance and even then sends you around in circles. I currently have two seperate issues I am dealing with for two different watches and cannot manage to have my… Read more

issue resolved. It has taken me 3 weeks so far to get a response as to how to post back my son’s watch to have the screen replaced. I don’t even want it under warranty, I’m happy to pay but can’t get the address or label for the service centre. They do not reply within 24 hours. I ordered a second watch before all this started and still haven’t received that but am getting emails saying they can ship today to receive by Christmas. It’s December 19.

I had recently cancelled my spacetalk sim and moved to Telstra because I would get notifications at 1pm saying my son arrived at school or left the school grounds. The service was horrible. The Telstra sim was working great (I paid $80 to SPACETALK to unlock the watch) then they updated the app and locked us out. That was a whole other rigmarole. He since cracked his screen and it’s been over a month now to try and work thinks out. I can’t get someone on the phone and the responses I get are either AI or telling me to do something I have already done.

 Follow-up  · It keeps getting worse. My sons watch that I needed the screen repaired, I have been told by spacetalk that even if I am willing to pay for the repairs, they will not repair it because it is out of warranty period. I am yet to find a repairer who can get access to the part to fix this. As for the watch I hadn’t received just before Christmas, it… Read more

I’d love to be able to get a refund. It was clunky at best, but sort of did the job. Then they went and “upgraded” things… it went from passable to woeful. If you set up a company based on communication, you should have decent enough customer… Read more

support. Email support only to some foreign country with AI responses… rubbish. When you finally get a human response, it’s all “I understand” and “I’m sorry” but basically it’s a “off and on” level of care. Get a Garmin or Apple. Less frustration in the long run. This thing kinda works but isn’t worth it.

 Follow-up  · This is a response to the questions from my original post… The so called “care” is all AI responses. You can’t get a real person unless you send it in email and then you might be lucky to get a response 3 or 4 days later. The so called “upgrades” were a new app that wasn’t needed that ruined the entire network and settings on the device. It’s… Read more

Looking forward to use the adv 2! – Hi team, we are so excited to get our first adventurer 2! I've just activated Spacetalk as per instructions. I can call and text but it still shows on watch "tap to pair" I can not locate or chat "to enable pair with spacetalk app" (bought all subscriptions) . Also noticed that not all features are in the the app like watch contacts etc. Show reply

Great! – Both of my boys have had these watches and we have found them a fantastic was to give them a little more freedom but to still be able to keep track of them and in contact. I would only say out of everything- if anything I think they are a bit expensive compared to other brands and also being not water resistant is a bit annoying. But other than that, they would be the only Cons, everything else would be positive! Show details ·  1

PRIVACY CONCERNS - Do NOT trust this company with your data. Despite multiple requests to delete my data after discovering they've been holding it for YEARS despite not using this service they are refusing. They have insisted I must jump through hoops and use apps I no longer have access to. I would not recommend this company to ANYONE if you value your privacy and data rights.

Very poor customer service and product. Watch didn’t last more than a few months. SIM card and watch was damaged through nothing at all. Eventually got a response from customer support who said they sent to technicians and said there was water damage. Has never been in water or even a tap! I received a response from about 7 different people asking… Read more

for the same questions and going around in circles. Don’t even get a refund on the watch or even on the SIM card that I paid a full year for! Worst experience I have ever had. Look elsewhere.

The Watch itself is Ok. The customer service and app are appaling. We purchased 2 of these watches a year ago and have been fine. We went to renew the Sim card and accidentaly purchased a new plan by mistake ITs now taken 3 weeks to try and get this new plan cacnclled and refunded and still not resolved. The app itself is not very user friendly. Horrible and slow customer service. Show details

Zero stars. Absolutely useless customer service. Bought a Spacetalk Adventurer 2 with SIM and a 12-month plan and 7 days later the SIM still isn’t linked to our email, so we can’t even activate the watch. There is no phone number to call, no real person to speak to, and the only option is an AI chat bot that is completely useless. When I asked for… Read more

someone to call me, I was told that this “isn’t a service they provide.” So let me get this straight, you take the money, sell a product for kids’ safety, and then provide NO actual customer service when something goes wrong? We still cannot use the watch at all, so I can’t even review the product, only the absolute joke of a support system behind it. This is not good enough. Sort it out.

Battery life is dismal not very clear you need to pay support to track – We bought the phone a few month ago . The battery didn't last a a day on standby. So my daughter didn't use it. Found the phone again .. as she needs to wear it. When it works it great..however the battery issue is not acceptable. Also the recurring charge to be able to access location is not justified when other watches do it for free. Show details
