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.

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.

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