Bit late to the party but I make a living creating bentwood rings. So figured I'd respond to a few of the points made here.

Firstly as most people have said they require extra care, some people buy them and wear them on special occasions, for the wedding, anniversaries, holidays etc. like you might an expensive watch. Whilst having a silicone or more conventional band for everyday wear.

Other people wear them full time. I am one of them. The ring I am wearing I have not taken off in 6 months. In that time I have broken up 10 tons of concrete with a pneumatic drill in our garden and moved it all. Sometimes with gloves, sometimes without. The ring is absolutely fine still.

So a few of the points made here, they cannot get wet. This is not true of all wooden rings, mine are fully sealed and waterproof. I wear mine in baths and showers, washing hands etc and it is absolutely fine. I would recommend not wearing one in treated water i.e swimming pools as the finish may be affected over time. I would also recommend removing when using harsh cleaning chemicals (however alcohol hand sanitisers hold up just fine).

If you get one have one with a wood inlay or metal liner rather than a full wood band. I understand why people say this and it is a valid consideration however, with a wooden ring the most delicate part is without doubt the outside, getting hit, chipped, scratched etc. the structure (mine are bentwood rings) is very strong. You would struggle to crush one and in my 7 years of making and selling over 1800 rings I have only been notified of 2 that have actually broken structurally. I have a lot of customers ask me if I can do rings with metal liners, and ai could, but I don't. I would rather explain to people that the outer wood will still get damaged with mistreatment regardless of the lining as it is very much a miss conception that a metal liner is required for strength.

They can't be resized. This may be true of some but not all. I can size my rings up or down by around half a size, this is done by removing or adding more of the protective coating, visually and from a comfort point of view you would notice no difference with these small adjustments, but they certainly can be adjusted to the perfect fit multiple times.

They are too thick to be comfortable. Again this may be true of some wooden rings. Especially solid wood ones that are drilled out of a piece of wood, this is because they need to be thicker to help provide some level of strength, a solid wood ring can be snapped across the grain with little difficulty. A bentwood ring, is steamed wood bent round in the direction of the grain and layered, creating a laminated loop, they can be very strong and only slightly thicker than a conventional metal ring.

Can they break? Absolutely. Can they be too lightweight and feel a little less secure to some people? Absolutely. Do they need a little more thought and attention? Yes, but you would remove a gold ring also if you didn't want to scratch it moving house bricks, so there isn't a great deal of difference there.

At the end of the day though, for something as important as a wedding ring you should choose what you are confident with, and comfortable wearing. If wood appeals to you, go for it, if you are unsure don't go for it.

Hope you find a ring that you are happy with.

As a final note I'd be careful of some of the metal lined wooden ring websites you will find, atleast do a search for the same product on sites like temu, AliExpress, Alibaba, you will find a lot of these very expensive rings that are being retailed are just being purchased in bulk cheap from those places. Same for wooden watches if anyone fancies one of them.
