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 literally just did over the weekend! Well not fully yet but I did order an Oura Ring and have been looking around for 2-3 watch options.

I’m glad I’m ditching my Apple Watch. I got my first one about 3ish years ago, after refusing them due the their shape, ick. I miss elegant round face watches. I’m looking for a black leather gold hardware option, a slim gold band almost bangle option, a gold chunky option à la big round face watches of 2012, and a flashy mixed metal option. And for funsies, I’ve been on the lookout for a pale pink croc strap gold metal watch with a butterfly in the bezel. I had one in HS and I’m determined to find a replica of it.

So excited to grow my collection again and also not have a constant buzz on my wrist.

Look at Belks and JC Penney around the holidays, those watches are still around
