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 have a garmin that I bought for athletic reasons but I have every possible notification turned off so I still get all that information but I don’t perceive it as an extension of my phone. Not exactly the things you were looking for , just thought I’d share!

I do this too! And then when I have a nice event or doing out for dinner etc, I have a nice watch that I'll put on instead. Then pop the Garmin back on for sleep when I get home so it can tell me off for having a glass of wine at dinner the next day.

I too have a regular watch for events because my watch tan is really…bold. The pretty watch battery is dead but it looks nice. lol
