Garmin Fenix 6 or Fenix 6 Pro ?

Yes, F6 is probably overkill. But the good kind of overkill. 

But at the moment, the vivo 4 is R5000 on takelot, the Venu 2 is R7700, and a few days ago the F6 was R6500.

At that price, it's by far the best of them all just for the battery life, and it's also a far more robust design. I could never justify buying a vivo 4 or venu 2 if the F6 is R6500. 

The price on takealot is R8500 at the moment though, but it'll probably be on sale again soon as the F7 is rumored to launch soon. 

In terms of smart watch vs garmin/"sports watch" - Not sure how much more than viewing messages, seeing who's calling, and seeing calendar events I really want on my watch. Garmin does all of that, and you don't have to charge it every night. 

My VivoActive 4 is 11 months old ....

 

DAMN .... prices changed a LOT in this short period ....

 

 

 

This is the only constant in the game of electronics .... do your homework, commit, buy, and DONT look at the prices for the next couple of months ....
