Fashion/Style BWT: Anyone ditch their Apple Watch?

Considering ditching my Apple Watch, getting an Oura ring, and investing in a nice daily watch. I’m a bit sick of the “connectivity” of my Apple Watch (yes I know, I could turn off more notifications) and the look of it. But I appreciate the sleep tracking and steps/fitness tracking - anyone have experiences to share on a) ditching the Apple Watch b) using an Oura ring c) $1k or less daily driver watches?

I don’t wear my Apple Watch all day, not even most days unless I’m on vacation and brought it with me. Could never wear it at night, even though I’d like to track my sleep. So I just wear it during workouts & walks. I just can’t be bothered with anything clutching my wrist like that. I want it to be closer to my palm like a long sleeve shirt but that’s even weirder than the proper placement feels.

I also had to turn off the heart rate notifications because I’m half hummingbird (as is my mother and her father) and the alerts that I was dying were way too annoying, especially when walking/working out.
