If you’re not sure, just don’t. It won’t help you, but it could hurt you

It’s not what you wear, it’s how you wear it. If you show up dressed like garbage but wearing a nice watch, it screams “I have no style but spend to flex”. If it fits well with your outfit and personality, it will reflect you take good care of your appearance and pay attention to detail in how you customize your appearance

Depends on company and the specific interviewer. Could range from someone who has no clue whats on your wrist to someone who thinks you are a huge poser from corporate America. I would be safe and avoid the big watch.

Also no suit but a nice sportcoat is the way to go.

Watches are fine in the Bay, just don’t wear a suit

I do jeans and a blazer though I wouldn’t be opposed to a suit if it was a stylish one but not your dad’s oversized black suit

Doubt it would hurt. Think the most likely situation is either (a) they don't know shit about watches and don't notice anything beyond it's not super flashy or a Rolex or (b) they're a watch enthusiast and think it's cool.

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value. For instance I was a big fan of Montblanc but after I see their smart watch line up I instantly devalued the brand in general. Same for Tag (tag is questionable anyways), or Breitling. What is your opinion on this topic?
