We show that if T is an isometry (as metric spaces) from an open subgroup of the group of invertible elements in a unital semisimple commutative Banach algebra A onto a open subgroup of the group of invertible elements in a unital Banach algebra B, then is an isometrical group isomorphism. In particular, extends to an isometrical real algebra isomorphism from A onto B.
