Depends on whom you invite in. Albeit really smart people would rent special furnishing for special occasions. Such services do exist.
So after a while the utility is things like social status and wealth signaling.
Apply this to things like buying a car, or a home and it makes a whole lot of sense. If you need that expensive carpet just to show off while a cheaper one could keep your feet equally warm, then at that point in time you are spending for status and wealth, not utility.
In case of a watch, can your phone tell time? If so you are all set.
