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’m in my second year of my Whoop subscription and I do like it. One thing I like is you can charge it while wearing the strap, so it’s a 24hr monitor. I use it to track my cycling as well as sleep, stress and general health. It’s a good warning sign for anything effecting your health that you don’t know about yet. HRV is a good way of tracking stress levels in your body and the Whoop app tracks this overnight.

I wish however that my Apple Watch did the same, as I do miss the other features my iWatch has, but the Apple health app isn’t as good.
