Hi Eric


It is possible that you have only scratched through the fingerprint-resistant, oil repellent coating. It is normal for this coating to wear away under normal use, but it may may have become scratched without damaging the screen beneath.


Whether you have scratched the glass or not, Apple does not recommend using cleaning products or polishing or buffing the watch with abrasives; these will wear away the coating and may also (further) scratch the glass beneath.


A good quality screen protector (film-type) may be effective in obscuring or reducing the visibility of the mark, as well as in providing some measure of protection against future damage.
