Volkano Active 4+

Really good watch, I think the app lets it down a bit

I really like the watch! Last long, notifications come through and I like the design. The app i just find is very limited in its sports functions. They only seem to have cardio basically so if you are doing any other form of sport I.E a full body workout or yoga you can’t really record it. You can set it to a cardio function but it picks up that you aren’t doing a lot of steps so it’s not really accurate. I just think that feature needs a bit of work seen as it is a sports watch and should be a bit more diverse.

Developer Response ,

Workout data

The watch is great and works fine. My only concern is that when you link data to your health or vitality app, the workout data is NOT sync nor allowed to share data. It only allows you to share sleep, walking + running, heart rate, active energy & steps data. You will find all allowed shared when you go to settings > health > Data > Volkano active. Here you will see all the list data that can be shared from the Volkano App to the Health App and “workout” data is not included there. If you can include this shared data I think the watch can be rated at 5star.

Customising

Very happy with watch - just thought adding more customisation would be better such as the watch faces - the layout of each utility and being able to move it in a different order - otherwise great watch
