The ring is tungsten- good width on the band, good weight. The fit is perfect, got an 11 which is harder to find. I bought it for my husband, a retired Marine and he LOVES it, wears it daily since Christmas 2012, there are a few scratches, nothing major, or overly obvious and the emblem is just ever so slightly worn. Keep in mind he is a fulltime heavy hands on worker too though. Also it says customize for free but they DO NOT do it anymore. I was so sad about that, they really should change that. But for the price and his happy face I would say 5 stars +, but quality and the false advertising give it a 4 stars.
