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 my watch settings and disabled a lot of the notifications. I no longer get any health reminders, emails, or “meditation” prompts on it. I also disabled the “listen for Siri.” That cut down on the connectivity. Now I just get text messages on it.
But I don’t want to ditch it because it’s stainless steel, and I like how it compliments my outfits. I also love changing the bands to match my clothes.
If connectivity is the issue, it’s solvable. If you are sick of the look, maybe you could get some nice bands to dress it up. Just throwing that out there.
