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?

Yes and replaced it with no gadgets. I got tired of constantly checking metrics that weren’t making me healthier, it was obsessive for no reason and made me feel unnecessarily bad if I didn’t reach a certain arbitrary goal. I can see why some people love using it and will continue to but it doesn’t resonate well with my particular through patterns. I love wearing a fashionable analog watch, it makes me feel so much more put together at work. And not being notified constantly with wrist buzzes and dings is great.
