I respect these developers spending months and months to do something really not necessary and just for fun. I doubt they would make millions selling this so it is purely for their entertainment. I hope to find a hobby project to dedicate myself like these people one day.

Well I absolutely needed this watch. It's a world class watch, it's hackable, it's cheap, it doesn't phone home, battery lasts over a year, LCD visible is always high.

It's actually the only watch with all the features I want. It's got a pulsometer built in and I added a calibration feature to let the user set the scale. As far as I know it's the only watch to ever allow this. Use it every day at work.

yeah sounds nuts, but it's probably not from selling the watch, but their value will be in learning about how to make lower power small electronics for someone else is my guess. But on the face of it, doesn't make sense.
