I purchased this ring for my husband for our fifth wedding anniversary, which was five years ago.  His actual wedding band is gold and a similar width, but was a little large on him, and he was taking it off for almost everything because he was afraid of losing it.  I decided to get this ring as more of an everyday alternative to the more formal gold band, and now it is the ONLY ring my husband wears.  And he wears it all the time, through showers, sleep, yard work, anything!  It's solid and heavy yet comfortable to wear, and after five years, it still looks just as good as new.  I followed the sizing guidelines and estimated based on knowing the size of my husband's original wedding band, and this ring fits him perfectly, snug but not at all too tight.  Highly recommended!
