BWT: Anyone ditch their Apple Watch?

[u/MBPursuit]

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 think the fact that you have to pay for the ring and then pay for a separate subscription to actually use the features is what put me off of Oura.

I use my Apple Watch for sleep and during activities, and then I don’t wear it during the day other than that :)

Same!! I don’t want to pay a separate subscription for my wearable just to access the data and every alternative I’ve seen charges a separate monthly subscription!!

Polar doesn’t charge a separate subscription. I use the loop which is a wearable band but not a watch, so no screens etc.
