A ring to go with my watch?

Can be anything. Firefighters, for example, wear rubber wedding bands on the job in place of a metal band for safety reasons. Can't get it caught in something whereas a rubber band will simply rip off.

Well I'd classify plain bands as wedding rings
But it really is that it is on your wedding finger. When I lost a bunch of weight, I wore all sorts of rings, beyond my wedding set that didn't fit anymore. Just if you happened to show me a plain band, I'd assume it is a wedding ring.
Fancy that. I actually started wearing my wedding band on my right hand now that I'm wearing a watch. I just hate the look of rings and watches on the same hand. I suppose it's the sequence of horizontal lines which makes my hand appear somewhat stubby and short. Then again, I suffer from OCD.
Do you have the Milanese band already? I would love to see real life pics of an ML on the silver Sport...
Speaking of wedding bands, my band made the decision between standard SS and Space Black link bracelet for me. I didn't want the Space Black to clash with my platinum and 18K gold wedding band so I got the standard SS link bracelet.

You got me thinking - I wonder if anyone has done a DLC plated ring yet (for jewellery, as opposed to manufacturing). Couldn't find any.
Did find some cheapies that I may order, just for ***** and giggles though:

Typically on jewelry it's referred to as PVD coating. Essentially the same thing.

Perhaps it's essentially the same color, but diamond-like carbon is most certainly not essentially the same thing as PVD.
"DLC is a form of PVD coating. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is the process in which DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) is applied. Another way to think about it is PVD is the paintbrush and DLC is the paint. That being said, DLC is harder and wears better that most if not all other types of PVD so if a manufacturer states that their watch is PVD coated it's probably not DLC. I personally prefer the pencil grey color of DLC over the flat black of most PVD. DLC is also somewhat translucent, allowing the character of the base material to show through."
So in the case of jewelry, most are not going to be described as DLC, but typically describe the process as PVD since it's more broad.
My description of the process was in response to someone searching for a ring to go with the Space Black watch. Searching "dlc black ring" barely shows anything. Searching "pvd ring" instantly shows tons of black rings, whether they be tungsten, titanium, stainless steel, etc. Being that DLC is more expensive type of PVD coating, it's not used as often on rings where the profit margins are lower than that of watches.
I've never put much stock into these forums up until this Apple Watch launch, in hopes to find any info on my SS w/ Link Bracelet.
All I'm finding is that people have been disturbingly hostile, arguing, name calling, etc.
My purpose of responding about the coating/process was to help that poster find more options with the rings. Your purpose: to correct or tell me I'm wrong.
I suppose I'm not cut out for these forums...
