I purchased this ring after looking at a few in some jewelry stores. After being stunned by the cost of a similar band, same metal, etc. the cost was anywhere from $400 to $800. I was looking to spend $150 max for a plain silver band.

I took a bit of a gamble on this ring, but all of the reviews were awesome. True to that, the ring is great. It's a little darker than I expected, but I actually like the dark gray as opposed to the bright, polished silver look.

True to Tungsten Carbide, the ring is slightly heavier than titanium rings. I have one titanium ring, and it is noticeably heavier, but the titanium ring also gets scratched by every particle of dirt, whereas the tungsten carbide ring seems to hold up a LOT better.

For a little over $50, you really can't lose with this ring. I wanted a ring that could get beat up and be replaced after 5 or 10 years without hurting the bank account. I work with my hands all day long and I know it's getting scratched or smashed a couple of times per week, and it has held up great.

Pros:
-Durable
-Price

Cons:
-Weight
