Don't expect accurate heart rate. I have the gen 1, and unless they did some crazy improvements in Gen 2, the heart rate is pretty bad. Won't detect when it's real high while you're exercising. Everything else is pretty good, though.

I had switched to Garmin for awhile, but came back to getting a new Apple Watch, as I missed some of the smartwatch features. I also felt limited by the Garmin ecosystem, unable to push HRV into Apple Health where it can be used by other apps like Bevel. I do miss the battery life though. I pretty much tested all the available apps and ended up with Bevel. The major thing I liked was the AI, both in the notifications during the day, after activities, and within each of the tracked data. I get quick summaries that way without having to study a graph. I had also used Ringconn for awhile (like Oura but no subscription fee), but it also didn’t send HRV to Apple Health, and the ring fit was an ongoing challenge, sometimes too tight and sometimes too loose.

Strongly dislike Apple Watch. Oura is just ok - not happy with app. Fitbits die after so many months. RingConn has been my most reliable so far. Oh and I don’t care much for watches or anything on my wrists

Well strap seems to me a way bulkier. (Dont have Amaz helio ring, but ringconn and In used to it). Usually when I get home, I take off my watch right away to rest, I'm afraid the strap will get in my way.
