If you’re gonna rent it because the rest of your outfit including your car and your date is rented anyway, and you’ll never see these people again, then sure. But what happens when you rent on a monthly basis and someone goes,

“Hey show my friend that watch of yours i’ve been meaning to look into getting one”.

“Oh, uh, actually its not mine, and I had to give it back to kleinbl00.”

This hurts its appeal when marketed.
