Pricing: Per Bark, there's no separate upfront cost when you buy from Bark: the watch is about $10/mo for 24 months, plus a required Bark service plan at about $15/mo, which includes cell service and Bark Premium monitoring. Bark says watches bought from it have a 60-day money-back guarantee (plan payments aren't refunded), and that cancelling after 60 days means paying off the rest of the watch. Prices change often, so confirm the current price at Bark. Checked September 2026.
