I've bought stainless steel rings before for my husband and paid much more than I did for this ring.  This is really supposed just be a "back-up" ring to keep in the car in case my husband forgets his band for outtings.  But, I dare to say that this ring is much nicer than the one I originally bought my husband when we got married. The finish is beautiful. It's a tough ring. The comfort fit is excellent and lives up to its hype. Definitely recommend this ring over anything you may find at the stores where they charge an arm and a leg.
