I got the exact same tungsten ring I bought at a jewlery store as my first ring for $200+ bucks at walmart for $50.
I actually spend a lot of time with my ring off. I don't wear it while working and usually not when I'm just around the house. Also, like creamy, it slips off easy this time of year when it's cold. What helps to not lose it (same goes for keys) is always put it in the same place every time I take it off. And never put it in my pocket. I've managed to go almost nine years without damaging or losing it.
Now that I'm typing this I'm thinking I'll probably lose it now.
Alas, its currently at the bottom of Grand Lake. I dived in to retrieve a 5 gallon bucket (I hate litter) and it slipped off. didnt realize until I was on the boat.
Guess I'll have to try this again.

My fingers have fattened up a little bit and now it's difficult to get the thing back off once its on.
I lost my ring 4 months after we got married-at a geology club keg party I fell down a steep hill and halfway down I felt it come off my finger. Spent a week with a metal detector, found lots of interesting stuff, but never found my ring. I also never replaced it, so for the past 33 years I've been married but ringless. Since my wife was a bartender first, then a nurse, she hasn't worn her ring for 30 years. It hasn't mattered to either of us. If you need a ring to remind you of your commitment you've got problemsAm I the only guy here who actually lost his first wedding ring? That went over well. Worked out in the end though, the new one was an upgrade, because by that time I actually had some money. And I've had it for 15+ years now. It never comes off. I learned my lesson.

When I go to the Y, I undo two eyelets of laces on a shoe and tie my ring into the shoelaces - all so that the knurled steel barbells don't mess it up. Then I forget to put it back on and freak out because I can't find it.
I had a pretty typical story. I coach at a strength and conditioning gym on the side and found myself taking my ring off almost every day. (I wouldn't wear it at the gym because the bars would cause it to pinch my skin and rip off my calluses.) Last year for Christmas, the wife surprised me with a trip to the tattoo artist (my first and only) and now I don't have to take it off or resize it!
I just got mine tattooed on. It's a ball & chain.
and already managed to "break" my wedding band. Damn thing fell off my finger and a v-shaped chunk popped right out. Durable tungsten my arse!

We thought about that, but read that finger tats don't last. Had a parlor tell us that too. What's been yalls experience? I see one of you has two.
Platinum works for me. Though it sits at home in the gun safe, I cannot stand to wear jewelry. My wife knows that I am committed to her in my heart and that is good enough for her.
