Q: SS Apple watch back composite scratches?
My apple watch is 1 month old tomorrow. I love it. I have the face of the watch protected with armorsuit screen protector. The watch is mostly on my wrist or in the charger and no where else.
But I have notices that there are all of these fine scratches all over the back composite sensor face. They are not so bad now but I can imagine that a year from now they could start impacting the sensor readings.
I assume the charger might be doing this. I saw someone post a vid about how to put some thin microfiber cloth on the charger. I may try that to keep the scratches from getting worse.
But can the scratches on the backside be polished off? And if so how?

Hi Bob
To ensure that your watch maintains all functionality, Apple does not using recommend polishing it or buffing it with abrasives.
It is also not advisable to place anything between the back of the watch and the charger. (Even accidentally leaving the very thin, original plastic wrap on the charger can cause issues with charging).
To avoid any further scratches, instead clean the back of your watch - and also the charger surface - before charging your watch. When doing so, be sure to follow Apple's instructions for cleaning your watch and the charger (including using a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth).
