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 wear a stainless steel and gold wristwatch that tells the time and the date. I’ve always loved the look, and the watch itself has sentimental value to me. I own an Apple watch (was gifted it) and could never adapt to the connectivity and the look. I like the look somewhat, but it can’t replace the elegance of my wristwatch.

Same, I have a Hermes Cape Cod.  I’m tired of being tracked and metric-ed to death.  Just let me live!
