What smartwatches have metal caseback?

I know it's out of the budget range for many smartwatch enthusiasts, but I have a Montblanc Summit 2 and I am thrilled with it. It has a gorgeous metal body with a timeless design. It runs on the Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor; it has useful controls and internal apps (like stopwatch and music controls); it's water-resistant and goes from car to track to pool to office. It is, without a doubt, the BEST smartwatch I've owned... which is quite a few, ever since the original Moto 360 was released.

They used to make high-quality automatic wristwatches so it's not a surprise to see them making smartwatches.

I hope they still do make high-quality automatic watches, since the cheapest automatic in their current range is £1,500 (I know that many watch enthusiasts call this "affordable", but I'd still expect quality at that price).

@The_Chief Montblanc, the ultimate pen company makes Smartwatches now? When did this happen?

Montblanc was one of the early adopters for the 3100 processor. I love that turning the crown scrolls the screen: so for things like Settings, I can just spin the crown to scroll instead of the old swipe-swipe-swipe on the screen. The two hardware buttons can be configured to any app I need (I have stopwatch on the top for my workout walks and Google Play Music on the bottom button). I'm hoping that if/when Qualcomm finally announces the mythical 3300 upgrade, which will replace the 3100's 28nm process with a 10nm process, Montblanc will grab the chip for the Summit 3.

I'm currently considering to buy a smartwatch, but through the reviews they seem to have plastic casebacks which I don't like.

So far the TicWatch Pro and Huawei Watch 2 have metal casebacks.

Do you know other smartwatches with metal casebacks?

Thanks.

I know that I am late to the party. The Samsung active 2 doesn't have a metal back but, it does have a glass back. It's a quality watch 👌
