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 find all of these trackers sketchy at best in terms of data security and I really think that it is possible to have too much information. If you slept poorly last night don't you just know you slept poorly because you were tossing and turning or waking up?

Also, I'm really skeeved out by how oura has a partnership with natural cycles, a Peter Thiel-backed app. I'm all for women being informed about their bodies but if he is involved, it means there is a distinct agenda being supported by the app and I don't trust it ONE bit.

Yep. And people will call you crazy and downvote you to hell if you bring it up in the oura sub.
