I received a Meyer Circulon as a gift and I really like it. And I'm a guy that prefers All-Clad stainless.
I'm not sure what the circles actually accomplish (I'm thinking that may be somewhat of a gimmick) but the coating has proved to be very durable and the pan has a nice heft to it. The handle stays cool and it can go from stove top to oven. I have even exceeded the manufactures recommendation for highest oven temperature and have still not had a problem. No warping either. And in the U.S. at least, they are more often on sale than not.
I've had two Circulon woks for about ten years. I would have said they're good pans, but in light of the fact that the nonstick-ness is intact without failing in any way over all these years of use, maybe I should call them 'GREAT'. This is the line that American-Chinese chef Martin Yan promotes.
