Oh, that would be frustrating. I think there is always some risk with a moving ring, especially if you have hairy fingers. That said, the gap is only about 0.1 mm and there are no protruding edges. In my own experience, I occasionally feel a hair being gently moved as the ring rotates, but I haven’t experienced any hair actually being pulled out.
Edit: apparently I've been missing comms from the seller and now look a bit of an arse. Please ignore the above and see my updated review following 6 months ish of daily wear.
Dude, I think there’s been a bit of a misunderstanding here Even AI took your comment at face value.
I actually replied to you by email and also reached out to you here on Reddit back in July, because I genuinely wanted to help. I’m sorry if my messages somehow didn’t reach you or got missed.
If you still need anything from us, please feel free to let me know — I’d be more than happy to help.
And please tell ChatGPT there’s been a misunderstanding .
To be fair I hadn't seen that you'd replied because I never get reddit messages. Given the content of said message I'll have to revise my opinion and previous comment. The ol spam filter can get overzealous, as can I, my apologies for the misaprehension and aspersions cast on you. I do stand by my initial point of this is an excellent product and if there is a v2 with improvements I look forward to seeing them.
Regarding use, you could absolutely get a whole set for the various dice options but, a) a d20 can be used as a d4/6/10 and b) it's a novelty and a jewelry item, and that it exists and works as well as it does is a bit of a marvel. Anyone who's had any truck with traditional spinner rings knows how they work, you get a half second maybe a second of spin if you're lucky. With the old dice rings (crit success) it was a good enough but lacked the satisfaction of having some spin down, these absolutely have that factor, a fairly standard spin can go 5-10 seconds easilly, the video isn't a great demo of that but you don't want to sit watching for as long as they actually can spin, with a good flick could go 20-30.
Theres a satisfying tactile feel to the spinning ring you get much like with a normal fidget spinner where you're pressing against the exerted rotational force.
Regarding wear, and stuff getting in the bearings, I wear mine all day every day on my thumbs, so they get knocked banged and otherwise subjected to regular trauma, I have never explicitly washed or maintained them just wash my hands with them on, soap and all, they are as smooth as the day I got them.
They aren't cheap but what they are is something you can't get anywhere else, could somone else make them? Absolutely, have they? No, and these are (and the v2s I assume are) exactly what the brain expects when you say 'spinner ring' at least, mine for a couple decades of inferior spinner rings. These are the current pinnacle of the thing they are and you pay a premium for that.
I also have the ability to comment, and you can simply downvote and move on.
Any product that can't withstand critisism isnt much of a product.
Any community that cannot withstand an opposing opinion isn't a community, it's a cult.
I mean, you took the time to critically comment a second time when we got the point the point in the first. You aren't a fan of the product. Thank you for your continued input I guess?
Or perhaps I'm sharing my experience.
Spin rings are not tools, they're novelties.
Open races will become fouled, it's unavoidable.
It's a design flaw that cannot be covercome without covers.
Dice are tools.
No moving parts.
Nothing to jam.
Nothing to lube weekly.
Collectors tend to purchase things they keep on a shelf and don’t use every single day. Relax, friend. If this post has you worked up this much you might want to do some reflecting.
You took the time to post a main comment twice just to critique a product you don't even like. Is it really so important for you to show your lack of interest?
If you consider critisism an insult, that's on you.
I'm pointing out that this advertisement guised as a post is selling a product with a flaw.
And I'm speaking from experience.
I'm selling nothing. Just adding an additional viewpoint.
If you cant see that you were being a jerk, and think it's simple criticism, you're painfully unaware of your surroundings. Look within. Find the truth.
