Works very well and is water resistant

Having used the ring sizer option my Astari ring arrived fairly promptly. The fit is ideal. Set up does involve three apps, one for the ring, one for the payment system and your own bank app. Ten minutes to set up. Having set it up I have used the ring for payment most days and it works seamlessly. I can also vouch for the ring’s toughness and water resistance having accidentally put it through a sports wash (30 mins) in the pocket of my gym gear.

Best product I've ever bought because it works

I'm not the type to write reviews unless I have an awful experience. But today is the day I leave a positive review for once.

I've been using the Astari black ceramic ring for about 8 months now. No battery charging, no confirmation needed on my phone and it's waterproof.

Only thing I wish Astari had is their own payment app similar to curve. Where the master ring is linked to but can add separate rings with set payments limit for kids or partner. If anyone has used mclear payments rings you'd understand. I'd pay a monthly fee for it

Great ring great service.

I've had the Astari ring a few days now. Absolutely love it. The set up via curve and mii apps was so easy. Just follow the steps. Worked first time perfectly. The ring is very stylish, the fit was spot on. I cannot fault it in any way. Having money taken from your account directly is much better than having a reload funds all the time.
Thanks Astari
I lost my ring, contacted support. They answered within 2 hours. Gave me all the information I needed. Luckily I found it. Reinstalled the ring and it worked again first time. Can't fault the company or the product. Thanks again.

From buying to wearing and using it.

From buying to wearing and using it.. perfect !
I had a little issue as it didn’t work at first and i contacted the after sales department. They were extremely friendly and helpful and the issue (something I forgot to do) was resolved straight away.
Now, I use it everywhere and it works perfectly fine.
Thank you Astari

Lack of planning and delays.

This is not a view of the product as I’m yet to receive it, more so the Company and their organisation. I ordered one of the metal rings back in March as part of the Pre-order deal with the initial proposed delivery date being the end of April, and we were told everything was on track. However around the 17th April we were told that the colour wasn’t right so they need to delay things, up to 25th June (a bit more than the stated 6 weeks). We’re now being told that they are expected to be delivered to them by the end of June. And they’ll need to inspect the items, the is no timeline for shipping. Looking on the website, there is a shipping date of around the middle of July. My frustration here is the lack of clarity and the shifting of the goalposts. Surely before putting an item on sale you would check that it works and get a sample. Lack of foresight at its finest

Update: Finally got a ring (I had initially cancelled the order and reordered just over a week ago, the initial purchased brushed colour is still not available). Connecting the ring to the phone is simple. Problem is, that’s where it stops, the curve card cannot be added to the ring as it is constantly telling you the card details are incorrect (they’re not), Curve have a lead time of 3 working days before responding and Astari have 1 working day.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience—we understand your frustration, and we’re genuinely sorry for the disappointment caused by the shifting timelines.

Before launching the pre-order in March, we conducted months of sampling and testing to ensure everything was ready for production. That’s why it was especially frustrating for us, too, when the final finish of one of the metal ring variants didn’t meet our standards. Although we had done everything possible to avoid delays, we made the difficult decision to pause production and fix the issue properly, rather than ship a product we weren’t proud of.

We’ve tried our best to be transparent throughout this process—updating timelines as honestly as possible and always offering immediate refunds to anyone who preferred not to wait. The inspection and final delivery steps you mentioned are in place to ensure that what we send you meets the quality we originally promised.

As a small company, reviews like yours have a big impact on how others perceive us. We fully respect your right to share your experience, but if you’re open to it, we’d be incredibly grateful if you’d consider updating your review—either now or once you’ve received your ring and had a chance to evaluate the final product. We really believe it’ll be worth the wait.

Thanks again for supporting us early on. We truly value your patience and hope to make this right.

In the meantime, if you have any questions or need assistance with anything at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@astariwearables.com—we’re always happy to help.

Warm regards,
Team Astari

Good feedback from astari.

Just had good feedback from astari. Very helpful and caring and I regret what I previously said. I'm looking forward to purchasing the gold ring.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your honest feedback—and for your continued interest in the gold payment ring. We completely understand your concern and sincerely regret the frustration caused by the changing availability.

What makes this especially disappointing for us is that we did extensive sampling and testing before production to ensure everything would go smoothly. Unfortunately, when the final batch arrived, the finish on the gold variant wasn’t up to the standard we promised our customers. Rather than compromise on quality, we made the difficult decision to delay and rework the production.

We’ve tried to be as transparent as possible throughout—updating timelines as soon as we had new information and always offering the option to cancel and receive a full refund for those who had already pre-ordered.

As a small company, early supporters like you are incredibly important to us—and so are your reviews. Negative feedback doesn’t just hurt our feelings—it genuinely affects how others view us, and can make it harder for small teams like ours to grow and improve.

If you’re open to it, we’d be truly grateful if you’d consider updating your review—either now, or once you’ve received your ring and had a chance to see the final result. We really believe it’ll be worth the wait.

Thanks again for your patience and for supporting what we’re building.

In the meantime, if you have any questions or need assistance with anything at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@astariwearables.com—we’re always happy to help.

Warm regards,

Fantastic payment ring

Fantastic payment ring! Bought this as a gift for my husband, and he absolutely loves it. It's quite the conversation starter at the pub---everyone thinks it's so cool.

Friendly Customers' service

HI, I received my ring a couple of days back: the delivery was faster than forecasted, the ring set up with my curve account as easy as it is explained on the site.
Tried to pay with it but didn't work. Contacted customers support, the reply was fast, we exchange a few time, I did one last thing on my app and can't wait to finish work to see if the problem is solved.
Even if it isn't, their customers service is friendly and efficiant. you are not left waiting ..
Thank you Astari

Hi CDF,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re really glad to hear the ring arrived quickly and that setup was smooth—and especially that you found our customer support helpful and responsive. That’s exactly the experience we want to deliver.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed that your final test after work went well and that your ring is now tapping like a pro! If anything’s still not working perfectly, just let us know—we’re here to get you fully sorted at our customer service team.

If everything is working now and you’re happy overall, we’d love if you considered updating your review to 5 stars—it would mean a lot to our small team. But either way, thanks again for the kind words and for being part of the Astari journey 🙌

Warm regards,
Team Astari

Love my payment ring

Excellent customer service
Quick delivery time
Easy to connect to my iPhone but the second connection to connect my card took a while … got to 25% then failed a few times but eventually got there.
I’ve used my payment ring around 10 times now not one issue.
Would highly recommend

It was simple

It was simple, the fact the option for getting a ring sizer if your unsure is great. Support is really simple and letting me know what the status of the particular size was e.g it was out of stock due to demand. But you gave me an ETA of when it should be back and sent. Class customer service and the set up was really straightforward. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a wearable payment accessory.

Very easy process to order

Very easy process to order. Didn't know my size so had to order a ring sizer which was delivered promptly. After that it was as easy as sending an email to confirm the size and within a few days received it. Very easy to link a card to the app and set up the ring to your phone. Looks smart and works just as intended.

Absolutely love my Astari ring

Absolutely love my Astari ring! I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and it's so easy and convenient!
I had an issue with my initial ring and got in contact with Astari customer services, and spoke with Mike, who talked me through fault finding and then processed a replacement. Mike was absolutely fantastic from my first contact, to taking me through the replacement process and advising of time frames and checking my new ring worked perfectly. I am not marking down a star because of the fautly ring, as that's life and these things happen, but it's how it's dealt with that's important and that was 5 star and the ring has continued to be 5 star. I get so many remarks of 'wow! how did you do that?!' When I go to pay! Thanks Astari - and particularly Mike!
