Does the clear piece of plastic on the underside of the Apple Watch have to be present for the Watch to work?

When I purchased my Apple Watch about 2 weeks ago, on the backside of the one side of the watch containing the metallic prong that the other side of the watch holds from, I found a small strip of a clear "tape"? Does that tape have any effect on the watch? Before I cut this clear strip off, want to make sure it has no effect on the Apple Watch as it's annoying me to no end. I have the blue sport band on my Apple Watch Sport.

Apple Watch, watchOS 2.1, null

Oh gosh. Now I feel like a dummy. After seeing that, I started to peel the piece of tape off. It had no effect on the Watch whatsoever, and was attached as a temporary "clearcoat" to the metal prong's back and by slightly pulling backwards, pulled right off. Sorry I contacted, but I just didn't want to mess up and find something that really was necessary and problems occurred. Problem fixed.
