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?

I've used Apple watches for several years to monitor sleep (now have a series 9).

Monitor heart rate, sleep quality, SP02, respiration etc.

It does tend to temper alcohol use - just a couple glasses of red wine result in zero deep sleep and increased heart rate throughout the night.

SP02 and respiration were indicative of a lung disease which I'm being treated for.
