Initially I bought the Polar Ring, and of all the fidgets I own, it was definitely my favorite. However, thanks to the anniversary promotion, I was able to buy the Ratchet Ring, and now I'm having trouble deciding which one I like more. What I mean is that, thanks to the great promotion, I was able to buy another version that exceeded my expectations. I think that if there were bigger promotions more often, it would be easier to get the product. I live in Mexico, and the truth is that these rings are very, very expensive. Although I know that their price is justified by the quality you offer, all my friends and family have been disappointed when I tell them the price after having been delighted with them. I'm sure that all my coworkers would have one if it were a little more affordable.
On the other hand, my first impressions of both the Polar Ring and the Ratchet Ring weren't the best. The outer ring of the Polar Ring was very tight and impossible to turn. The Ratchet Ring had some kind of oil inside that made it uncomfortable to turn. Both problems were solved simply by disassembling, cleaning, and adjusting them, but at first, it's a little scary, making you think it's defective or that the experience won't be what you expect. My suggestion would be to specify from the beginning that it's important to clean it before using it. I think this would avoid bad first impressions.
Overall, I'm delighted with both rings. Thank you so much for helping me overcome my anxiety and for helping me stop biting my nails. Excellent product!
Hi Itiel, thank you so much for your kind words and detailed review!
We're so happy to hear that you are happy with your rings now. They should come click-ready out of the box (and the vast majority do) - I'm thinking this might be a case of personal preference. Either way, thank you so much for coming back and getting a second ring - your trust and support means a lot to us!
We do always have as a long-term goal to lower prices, but with the current state of the world economy it's very difficult... But we continue working with that goal in mind.
Thanks again and have a great day!

Being able to just fidget with it at any time while not noticing it when I am busy is just amazing.
I'm SO happy to hear that. Thank you for leaving a review and spreading the word!

Thank you so much for making this type of a fidget wearable. I have several of them, in several sizes, and I can not go a day without one on. They are stylish and very easy to use and get you through the day. Can't wait to see what other designs they come up with.
Hi Penni,
Thank you so much for yet another order and for leaving a review! You're amazing!

Bought two, the 1st was a little small (I ordered the wrong size), but because I liked it so much I didn't want to swap. It's super helpful to calm the brain on corp calls or large presentations. I have a few other brands, all are decent, but this ring is by far the best. Small, discreet, compact between the knuckles and the clicking is just the right decibel to get the job done without disrupting others.
Bret - thank you so much for your review! I hope you have a wonderful day today!

A handy kit to have
A beautifully crafted ring, solid! A great value
I love the polar ring. It needed a little time to smooth out but after a day or two of regular use it’s become one of my favorite items to carry. The feedback is wonderful and it’s the best quite fidget I’ve found so far.
Hi Josh, thank you so much for your kind review! We're so happy you're enjoying your Polar Ring!

the elegant steel, the satisfying clicks… this is the fidget i’ll be recommending to my friends.
Thank you so much for your review Axel!!

I was concerned that the mechanism may be “floppy “ and loose (if that makes sense) but NO, the feeling is really tightly fitted demonstrating a high level of adherence to strict/exact machining specifications.
As well as the quality feel the ring really does look as good in RL as the photos portray.
Thank you so much for your review Dale! It means so much to us when the machining quality and stringent tolerances are noticed and admired for what they are. Thanks again, and enjoy!

I got this for my brother and myself as well. We are both extremely happy with the black polar ring. Sizing based of off the website turned out to be a little difficult, but the size exchange was no problem at all. Also I must admit that I tried the Chinese version of the ratchet ring first. This version turns one way and has the clicky noise. Mainly because of the costs, but also because I wanted to get a better feeling of the type of relief it brings. Obviously that test went well!
Loving the Polar ring! It is a solid ring which has a smooth feeling when turning. Silent enough not to bother family, friends or collegues either. If you like a faster spin, go for the Black Version!
Hi Tessel, thank you for your review! We're so happy to hear you and your brother are enjoying your new Polar Rings.
Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for your review Young. Enjoy the clicks!

The bad thing about this ring, is that its a Ring. And I tend to lose little things.
I lost my first Ratchet Ring, and ordert 1 Ratchet and 1 Polar Ring. I think that says everything.
Hi Thomas - huge thanks for your new order. We hope you enjoy them as much as the first one (and we're sorry that one got lost)!
Have a great day!

Exactly what I need. Best fidget/anxiety/boredom relief ever. Very satisfying sound and feel. I wear it on my ring finger and fidget with it with the same hand. Sometimes i will hold it on my other index finger and fidget with it but it doesnt fit over that knuckle so i’ll probably have to get 1 or 2 more
Hi Bo, huge thanks for your review! Enjoy your ring!

This ring is amazingly satisfying, I really wish I knew about it sooner.
Huge thanks for your review Mason. I wish you a wonderful day!

I love this ring. Incredibly well made and it’s SOOOOOOOOO satisfying!!! I had to exchange sizes, which they are super accommodating and make it super easy, but now I’m having withdrawals and can’t wait for the replacement to get here!! Seriously just buy this already.
Thank you so much for your review Scott! We can't wait for you to get the right size delivered to your doorstep :-)

Nice little unit. Wished I had gotten one size smaller but otherwise it will work just fine.
Thank you for your review Joe, shoot us an email at hello@projectratchet.com if you'd like to make a size exchange!

This ratcheting ring is both functional and aesthetic, looking at it, it just looks like a cool ring. Many people have been surprised that it is actually a fidget ring. Super cool and works great
Hi M.C.,
Thank you so much for your review - we hope you continue enjoying your ring for many years to come!
- August
Works perfectly as described! Keeps my anxiety in check! Only disappointment is that Rachet ring V2 only spins in one direction and I have to constantly worry about which is the right direction as I don’t want to spoil the ring… i am not tempted to get the polar ring which can spin in both directions
Hi Sivarajan,
Huge thanks for your kind review! One tip about finding the right direction to click: if the press-lid is facing the root of your finger, the clicks will be forward, and vice versa.
I hope this helps, and look forward to hearing your thoughts on the Polar Ring once you try that out!

I originally purchased the Polar Ring, and have been incredibly happy with it. Since it's silent it can be used anywhere, but I was always curious - how does the Ratchet Ring feel, with it's more audible and crisp clicks?
The answer is it's absolutely amazing. I don't have a single complaint, not a single thing I'd change - it is fidget perfection.
I'm having a hard time deciding which of them I like more, since each has it's own unique feeling. Both do however share the same magnificent build quality.
If I lost one of these I would order a new one right away. That's how good they are.
Hi Robert,
Huge thanks for your kind words! We're so happy you're enjoying your rings. If there's ever anything we can help you with, you know where to find us.

Satisfying ratcheting action. Using this as my wedding band. In uncomfortable situations I have a place to put my focus.
Can’t update my old review, but I love the ring and am really happy with the resolution we came to. My old ring had some imperfections, and the team was prompt and quick to contact me and order a replacement. This new ring works and looks how it should, so I’m really happy with it! I use the ring all day every day, and it’s quickly become a part of life :)
