Is the Apple Watch good at overall health tracking for someone who is not an athlete? (alien.top)

So I’m trying to decide between an Oura ring, Whoop, and a Apple Watch Ultra 2. I am in no means in athlete and am in an average health. I’m looking for a tracker to be able to give me insights into how I am sleeping, recovery levels, and basic workout tracking and other health metrics. I’m more interested in things like how does how much I sleep or how much alcohol I have to drink affect my wellbeing instead of how well I recover from a workout. Would the Apple Watch be good for this or should I consider the other options above?

The alcohol raises night readings so it becomes useless besides guessing I drank to much. Without alcohol I predict if I over exerted in a hard cardio day. Otherwise I might be getting sick (I test for Covid). A few drinks depending on the person didn’t show but more just throws valuable reading off. Like they say, if in doubt, remove alcohol for a time period. I stopped drinking for now and the readings are useful. I’m not an athlete. I’m on and off.
