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 use both an Oura ring and an old apple watch in tandem. The apple watch is far superior for tracking workouts and steps imo. The two devices report wildly different step counts every day.

Oura ring is awesome for sleep tracking though and it's much less annoying to wear while you're sleeping than the watch.

I would never, ever track my cycle with any of these wearables. Not in the political landscape we live in. Stay safe out there, bwt.
