Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I'm starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

I had a smartwatch for a bit and I realized the only things I cared about were the biometrics and clock. I got rid of it and got a nice watch and an oura ring that I only need to charge once a week and I much prefer this setup.

Never heard of the Oura ring before. Thanks for mentioning it. I hate wearing a watch to bed, so this might be more tolerable.

Is it still useful without the monthly membership?

I don't know how useful it would be without the membership as I haven't tried it. I am unsure to be honest, the advanced features I am kind of on the fence about, but the sleep insights have been very helpful. I do like the workout tracking which I think is free.
