Yesterday, Pebble watch software was ~95% open source. Today, it’s 100% open source. You can download, compile and run all the software you need to use your Pebble. We just published the source code for the new Pebble mobile app!

They released all the info, including pcb cads, sensor info, etc.

Yes but are you physically equipped to print that sort of stuff was the question

Probably could print the shell and buttons, would be quite difficult to print the wristband, and the screen, PCB, storage and battery would all have to be commodity components. Doable though.

There are case stls available for the Pebble 2, not sure about the rest (P2s were the most... fragile).
