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: your watch's usual calorie count doesn't know you're carrying anything. Ruck uses the Pandolf load-carriage equation, developed by US Army researchers, which combines your body weight (from your Garmin profile), your ruck weight, live speed, live grade from the altimeter and the terrain you pick. For a 180 lb person at 3 mph, a 35 lb pack adds about 15% on flat ground, and more if you're lighter or the pack is heavier. Take that pack up a gentle 5% grade and you're burning about 80% more than walking flat without it. 36 badges to chase. Every saved ruck adds to totals the app keeps for you: miles carried, the heaviest pack you have shouldered, weight moved over distance, climb, hours under load, and how regularly you show up. Press DOWN on the start screen to see all 36, what you have earned and how close you are to the next one. Earn one and it appears on the save screen, without a screen of its own to dismiss. Treadmill? Covered. Flip on Indoor mode and enter the treadmill's speed and incline - console-exact numbers feed the same calorie model (better inputs than GPS ever gives). Adjust them live mid-session with UP/DOWN and a hold, distance is tracked from your entered speed, and auto-laps still buzz every mile. 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 - A second screen (UP/DOWN) with the time of day, elapsed time, pack weight, terrain and heart rate, so you never have to leave the session to check the clock - Badges for distance, load, climb and consistency, with DOWN on the start screen to browse them - 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 Badges and totals live on the watch. Nothing is uploaded, and they are worked out once when a ruck is saved, so they cost nothing while you walk. No phone app, no account, no subscription. Set your weight, start walking.
