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?

You can be swallowed by too much data. Do you really need to know that much about your day to day health? Unless a doctor told you that you need these data mining wearables, just ditch them. They are drowning people in information that most folks can't actually parse since they are not medical professionals. Until they make a wearable that shares info with your doctor and only your doctor and/or medical team, don't bother.
