The Gear Ring from Kinekt Design arrived in a nifty black and silver ring box along with a playful warning note of “Please Enjoy Responsibly”. I would soon discover they weren’t kidding. Upon first inspection, the ring simply looked cool in design, but once I started spinning its outer rims, I was completely mesmerized by the way all the gears turned in perfect unison. It became rather addicting almost instantaneously and has since proven to be quite an attention getter! Sometimes I play with it while it’s on my finger and spin it with another finger and other times I remove it and use both hands. Both create their own unique feeling but with a similar level of satisfaction.
The Gear Ring is made out of a high quality stainless steel which is known to be durable and resistant to tarnishing, fading, and scratching. The video on their website allows you see the ring in action.
It weights 0.4 ounces and the smaller sizes should weight less. I do not find the ring to be too heavy to wear on my size 11 finger.
The ring definitely feels sturdy and I do not think it will fall apart after hours of spinning. Besides, the Lifetime warranty would kick in, if something were to happen.
Included in the reasonable price tag of $165 is free worldwide shipping and a lifetime warranty. For hours upon hours of awesome distraction, I say it’s well worth it. As their website also states they are always striving to bring us new unique products, I personally can not wait to see what is next as I believe the Gear Ring has certainly accomplished this goal.

That is wild. For sure a conversation piece, cool gadget.
That is cool! I think we need more reviews on cool, yet functional jewelry.
I saw this somewhere else on the web and immediately thought it very cool. It’s got ‘gadget’ written all over it! I hope Kinekt comes out with some more cool stuff like this.
It would be nice if they made a titanium version of it too!
Bought one for my partner he loves it and its a great talking point
I bought this ring and LOVE it. I got the wrong size twice (my fault) and support was amazing. I had my new ring within a week. Fun ring to play with in those boring meetings. A must have for any gear head.
Looks great but let’s hear from a few more wearers.
Thanks

It is a good conversation piece
Beautiful design – would like to see a more feminine complementary ring now specifically for smaller/daintier (IOWs female) hands – please.
Still want one now tho’ lol
I saw this same ring in Taipei in 1967 while on R&R from Viet Nam. It was made of carbon tool steel instead of stainless and came in only one size. I haven’t thought about it until I saw a TV ad tonight.
Excellent ring, people love it. The only problem I have is the damn thing keeps falling apart. I have had 2 rings break in a month now. Total POS. And as far as having a lifetime waranty thats nice, but my wife isn’t too happy and neither am I when I don’t have my wedding band for a week.
I have some experience in manufacturing and know most jewelry is cast. This item does not look to be cast. My gf has chains/necklaces that break and the company we got it from does not even offer to fix or replace it. I wear Diesel jewelry and their spring load clasp breaks and when I emailed them, they said it was my fault. I think this also applies to new car purchases, some do have issues while the vast majority do not. From their website they are new so batch process is what they are most likely using. If there is an issue with assembly during that batch, then in theory you will have a problem. The main question here is when you email them do they get back to you and take care of it? If so, then i agree it is a pain but at least they are addressing it.
I got one of your rings as a gift. I am a “gearhead”. A lifetime love of cars. This fits with my interests perfectly. I am extremely pleased with the quality and design of the ring. The first time I wore it in the clerk at the cash register took note. She also called another over to see. Needless to say I hoped they had friend or husband who would appreciate gears. Thanks again, I am very happy customer, thanks to my wife.
@C E Moore we don’t sell those rings. We just posted a review.
The correct website is : http://www.kinektdesign.com
I am wondering if this ring would be sturdy enough for someone who works on cars a lot. My fiance really loves this and would like to have this as his wedding band but I am afraid that if he is working with it, grease or something may get caught in the gears and eventually just become a mess. Please give me some feedback if you have experience wearing this ring.
I know from their FAQ they mention removing jewelry when working with machinery. That makes sense to me since you do not want anything to get stuck. I know 316L is durable and easy to maintain and remove grease from as well.
How easily does hair get caught in it? That is my only concern.
It does not. I have not had any issues so far.
I had tryed to sell some of there gear rings using eBay and there company complained in till they got ebay to suspend my account saying that they are counterfeit do not buy there products this company is a on going scam
Re: l2usty posting … Lies and more lies from a counterfeiter who got caught in act. Just as the website sites, the patented ring is exclusive to the kinekt design website and no where else.
