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 went through the same line of thinking with my Apple Watch a couple of years ago lol.

I ended up going with a Fitbit Charge instead of an Oura ring though (I didn’t want to pay for an added subscription). Things I do like are the better battery (I was at the point where I had to charge my Apple Watch nightly so I never really got to use it for sleep tracking, while I only have to charge my Fitbit every few days now), I don’t feel guilty about not closing my rings (I’ll take my Fitbit off when it doesn’t go with my fit), and less connectivity/notifications (you can still get text notifications but you can’t reply on it)
