Ruck

Rucking for every Garmin - not just the newest ones. Real load-adjusted calories, auto-laps, and a proper activity in Garmin Connect. Garmin only ships a native Rucking profile on its latest watches. Ruck brings it to the rest: fenix 6 Pro/7 series, Epix, Forerunner, Venu, and vivoactive owners get a dedicated ruck recorder with physiology that actually accounts for the weight on your back. Why load-adjusted calories matter: a 35 lb ruck can nearly double the energy cost of a walk, but a normal walking/hiking activity has no idea you're carrying anything. Ruck uses the Pandolf load-carriage equation - the military-research standard - combining your body weight (from your Garmin profile), your ruck weight, live speed, and live grade from the altimeter to estimate what the work actually costs you. On the watch: - Set your ruck weight in seconds (remembered for next time) - GPS status on the start screen so you leave with a lock - Live screen: session timer, distance, pace, heart rate, and load-adjusted calories - Automatic lap with a double buzz every mile (or km, following your watch units) - BACK adds a manual lap; START pauses to a Resume / Save / Discard menu - Works with buttons or touch In Garmin Connect: - Saves as a hiking-type activity named "Ruck" with your GPS track, heart rate, and elevation - Ruck Weight and Load-Adjusted Calories appear right in the activity summary - A lap every mile so you can see your pacing No phone app, no account, no subscription. Set your weight, start walking. Supported devices: fenix 6 Pro/7/8 series (including S, X, Pro, Solar, and fenix E), Epix (Gen 2) and Epix Pro, Enduro and Enduro 3, Forerunner 165/265/570/955/965/970, Venu 2 and 3 series, vivoactive 5 and 6.
