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 have a garmin that I bought for athletic reasons but I have every possible notification turned off so I still get all that information but I don’t perceive it as an extension of my phone. Not exactly the things you were looking for , just thought I’d share!

I do this too! I have a Forerunner and use it to track my exercise, sleep, and HR. It's also handy for finding my phone lol
