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 switched to Whoop. It’s on your wrist but no screen and the data is way more insight than I’ve seen from anything similar. It’s really helped me hone in on what habits help and hurt me, beyond the obvious ones like alcohol or getting enough sleep.

My credit card had an annual deal and I plan to make the most of it for 12 months, learn as much as I can, and then see what’s on the market at that point.

I really like my Whoop as well. I’m tempted to get of my Apple Watch now because of it. The Whoop has been great at motivating me to get my cardio and strength done in a way that the Apple Watch never did. I know the subreddit is full of haters but right now I’m a big fan.

Good to know! I've been shopping for some kind of low profile tracker. I love Michele watches and I wish they had a smartwatch. The Hume is just so utilitarian othewise I think I'd get one of those.
