The Pebble platform doesn't make it super easy to monetize itself beyond hardware sales. There's no reason to make a watch like this from a business perspective. Plenty probably could, but no one with the resources to do it properly wanted to make something similar.

Well, if you're not more greed than man, hardware sales might be enough for you.

Except the creator said he will be selling a new one...

Hobbyists do lots of stuff that companies won't.

It's not a hobby, he's going to sell them.

He'll make tens, if not dozens, of dollars.
