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?

Ultra excessive overkill. Just get the watch.

Disagree.

Battery life is huge QoL improvement. You’ll never have to worry about making it through a day.

Got a watch for a parent for health tracking. Ultra 2. (After she tried both regular and ultra and liked the ultra; not too heavy — she’s teeny, mind.)

Harder for them to scratch or damage. Comes with cellular option if they ever want it. Twice the battery life. (Supports sleep tracking more easily if desired because no need to charge overnight.)

Ultra is just a good choice for lots of things.

Regular watch is fine, but just how you live your life. (And aesthetics if you’re into that.)

Ultra 2 is well worth the money.

For doing what it is designed to do. Yes.Otherwise. No. Fashion dictates.
