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?

Non athlete here....(mid-50s, average health)... YES... get an Apple Watch! I've had one for 5 years now and they keep getting better with features and capabilities. (just upgraded to the 9). Everything from my morning 'readiness' ( Apple sleep app is OK but I use 'Auto Sleep' app which has more detail) to cardio fitness assessment.... O2 levels while I sleep (I've mild sleep apnea),etc. It has been really cool to see the trends over the years ( mostly positive). But without this 'data' I don't know that I'd be as mindful to work on improving health factors via activities, sleep which one can control.
