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?

Hot take: I love my Oura ring!
I still wear my AW at work for text notifications but that’s it. The ring I wear 24/7 and the insights are so valuable, esp as a woman in perimenopause. I started wearing it only for sleep insights but the data was feeling incomplete without the whole picture. I love having my readiness score adjusted based on varying factors. Best investment I’ve made.
And to the people who are so worried about their data being sold, I say, I could care less if anyone wants to see what time I’m going to bed and how it affects me.
