Ars Technica /style WHY WASTE TIME AND MONEY AT A JEWELRY STORE WHEN YOU CAN BUY WEDDING BANDS ONLINE For most guys, it sucks to buy wedding bands. It's time-consuming, expensive, and traditional styles leave a lot to be desired. Luckily, a company called Manly Bands is setting out to change all that. It was created by a now-married couple who, while purchasing their own wedding bands, discovered there was no place to get cool options on a normal budget. So they both quit their jobs, moved across the country, got married, and started Manly Bands with a focus on the customer experience. And today, The Gentleman is one of their most popular options. It's tungsten with an 18K rose gold plated sleeve and sides and a beveled stepped edge design with a satin finish. Ordering online couldn't be easier, and if there are any issues, including comfort and sizing, you have a full 30 days to exchange or return it. So don't waste your time and money with traditional jewelry stores. Check out Manly Bands instead.
