[Poll Results!] Would you buy a metal smartwatch band if Samsung sold one?

Smartwatches can double as great fashion accessories. You can mix and match the bands with your outfits to truly personalize its look. Samsung sells bands for its smartwatches and there are plenty of third-party options available as well. However, we're not quite pleased that the company hasn't offered a metal watch band for its latest smartwatches.

Samsung may have its own reasons for not doing so, but it's hard to deny that they look pretty good on its smartwatches. You can easily get a third-party metal watch band for the Galaxy Watch Active/Active 2 for under 50 euro. We have bought a few of them and are happy with just how great they make our Samsung smartwatches look.

It would be nice if Samsung starts offering a metal band as an official accessory. It's going to make a lot of its customers happy if it does that. Would you be among the ones to buy one? Vote below and let us know your thoughts by dropping a comment.

Results: Unsurprisingly, it seems Samsung is missing out on plenty of prospective buyers of its smartwatch accessories, with 80 percent voters saying they'd absolutely buy a metal band from Samsung. 14 percent don't like metal bands on smartwatches, and the remaining 6 percent voters say they'd rather buy a third-party band. That makes sense, of course, as third-party accessories are often less pricey than official ones.
