Feature Request: When will rucking be added to the watch?

Hi,

I know rucking has been added to other watches already, I am wondering when it will be added to Epix Pro (Gen 2) or others. I can currently select hiking and then edit the activity to switch it to rucking then add the pack weight, but I cannot select rucking from the standard list of activities, even add it as it doesn't seem to exist, other than to "edit it in".

Can you provide some insights on when or if we will get that as a workout option from the beginning?

Thanks.

Not adding Rucking to a watch that cost $1000 just a year ago would be ridiculous.

You can edit the activity and pick rucking and add the weight. But you can't pick rucking from the start......go figure that logic.

I'm not sure how long this has been available, but if you edit the Walking, Hiking, or Run Activity you can add Pack Weight. On mobile its under Edit Activity->Show More Data. Scroll all the way to the bottom. Add the weight and save. Then the field will show on the Stats tab.

On Connect web you can edit the activity and add the pack weight.

Note the fine print. Adding the pack weight doesn't adjust other stats to compensate for it. I use the Rucking Calories 2 app, which gives adjusted metrics for rucking.
