Best Men's Rings for an Active Lifestyle

A ring is a special way to show your love and commitment. However, men often find wearing rings uncomfortable and even dangerous due to the work or physical activities that they do.

In this blog, you will discover the large range of men’s rings available at ETRNL that can match your active lifestyle without compromising on style.

Why You Need a Ring That Matches Your Lifestyle

In the past, traditional rings for men were usually made of gold or silver. Both these metals are soft, meaning they can get damaged easily. Therefore, if you have an active lifestyle or a physical job, you need strong rings made out of durable materials. This will make a world of difference in keeping your ring in good condition. What’s more, you are less likely to lose your ring by not having to take it off all the time. At ETRNL, we understand that men’s rings need to be wearable and functional. Whether you are a tradie, an adventure lover or an exercise fanatic, there is a ring to meet your lifestyle needs.

Benefits of Buying a Correct Ring

You’ll be surprised at the range of design options available in these more durable materials. Sleek and elegant or rugged and masculine, there is a ring to suit your taste and style. As well as looking good, there are many benefits of opting for a more durable ring, including:

  • Longer-lasting with better resistance to daily wear and tear.
  • Safer with less risk of injury to fingers.
  • More comfortable to wear.
  • Less reactive to bodily chemicals like sweat.
  • More resistant to tarnish, rust, and corrosion.
  • More affordable to buy.
  • More cost-effective in the long run due to fewer repairs or replacements.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Men's Rings for an Active Lifestyle

When choosing rings for the active lifestyle, we know that durability is a top priority, but it’s not the only factor to consider. As well as the style and thickness of the ring, you also need to keep in mind the material, size, comfort and cost to help you select a ring that you’ll love for years to come.

Materials

All the materials used in our range of active lifestyle rings have special characteristics that cater to different needs, from scratch-resistant silicone and tungsten to titanium, which is super lightweight yet still very strong. Another highly durable material is tantalum which is also resistant to chemicals. We also have rings made from stainless steel, black zirconium, Damascus steel and wood.

Size

If it’s your first time buying a ring, we get that you may not know your ring size. That’s why we have created a comprehensive size guide that includes useful tools to work out your measurements. And don’t worry if you get the size wrong, as our men’s rings can be returned or exchanged within 60 days of purchase.

Comfort

Before deciding on a ring, carefully consider the material and the design to ensure maximum comfort. For example, our Tungsten rings are slightly rounded inside for a special comfort fit.

At ETRNL, we understand that things change and that may mean your ring becomes less comfortable over time. For only $50 on purchase of any metal ring, our Lifetime Replacement Policy allows you to replace your ring at no extra cost.

Cost

The beauty of choosing more durable materials over traditional materials is their affordability. These materials can be significantly cheaper than gold or silver and can also be more cost-effective in the long run as they are not as easily damaged. A win-win situation if you ask us.

If you’re wondering what the difference is between our metal rings and which one would suit your lifestyle the best, here are our top picks:

Tungsten

Tungsten rings are highly durable due to their hardness and scratch-resistant properties. This means that they can withstand daily wear and tear much better than traditional ring metals. 

Titanium

Titanium rings are also very strong and durable. Although undeniably strong, titanium is a softer metal than tungsten, making these rings very lightweight and comfortable to wear. Other benefits include being hypoallergenic, corrosion-resistant and easy to clean. Perfect for men who are always on the go.

Tantalum

Tantalum is setting a new trend for men who need a ring that is virtually indestructible. As well as being extremely durable against scratching and breakage, rings made of tantalum are lightweight and versatile in design. They are also hypoallergenic and biocompatible, meaning they won’t interact with sweat or cause irritation or injury to the skin. Even more incredible is that tantalum is resistant to chemicals, which is ideal for men who work in harsh conditions.

Stainless Steel

Our collection of signet rings is popular with active men who need a comfortable ring for everyday wear but also like making a fashion statement. The chosen metal for our signet rings is stainless steel because it is tough, hypoallergenic and corrosion-resistant. They are then finished in gold, silver, black or gunmetal grey for a bold and eye-catching look.

Ring Maintenance Tips for Men's With Active Lifestyles

Although durable materials do last longer, it’s still important to take care of them. The easiest way to clean and maintain the condition of your ring is to simply wash it with water and a mild soap or detergent. If needed, you can also use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to scrub it gently, and then dry with a soft cloth.
