I can't imagine wearing this watch, but some people crave attention. 
Looks like their target audience is in Afghanistan, and for some reason they never get ratings feedback due to users being deceased soon after purchase.

It is not a watch. It is a time controller. That is the reason for the large battery; it takes power to alter timelines. TSA will confiscate it due to possibly taking an entire plane to a different timeline. But is it ever cool when you are trying to impress someone. Pop and you are in another time.

What is deceiving is that Jerry can't have that watch for $50. He wouldn't know where or how to buy all the parts to assemble them together. The Ebay listing is only for the display.
This part is all you get for $49.99

Yes, the price is ridiculous.

Well I read again and that's for 10 pieces. But still you can get it here for less

Or your favorite Amazon for somewhat more
https://www.amazon.com/S-U-R-Tools-VINTAGE-INDICATOR-IVL2-7/dp/B06Y1WRWG6
and in any case (not that I doubt your skill) you wouldn't know how to make it into the watch like the picture you post.

A couple of original Casios - one even plays Space Invaders (no batteries in the other).

I always liked the idea of a calculator watch, and they are still available. It's just slightly more convenient that a cell phone.

This watch retains value very well
https://www.ebay.com/itm/334864336967?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28
In 1977 it was $800. Even with inflation it's only $4123.

Not now but it was tempting for me back then. However, it's not pratical at all. It has quite short battery life due to the LED display.
