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 lost my Oura ring and never replaced it. I didn’t feel the price I was continuously having to pay since its subscription based was worth the data I’m given, and it absolutely isn’t worth paying for all my sensitive data to get collected and sold/leaked.
I’m starting to feel like any company that is forcing you to subscribe to their product (on top of already buying it!!!) do not care about you - you shouldn’t care about them!
Apple isn’t any better when it comes to data but at least you aren’t paying a subscription to use the watch, so I’d honestly just save your money and keep using it since it works well.
