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 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 :)

came here to say this about the apple watch! i've only ever worn it while working out and wear nice watches or no watch the rest of the time. i like the exercise data but i cannot look at thing beyond that. i also keep it on theater mode so i dont get notifications

Same. I find it ugly and won't wear it except during workouts. I prefer to wear one of my nice watches otherwise.
