last night my Apple Watch fell off the couch, and nothing happened to the screen thankfully, but it did scrape the alumimum where it hit the floor. Is there anyway to repair this? Or should I just wait until Apple Watch 2 and buy a new one?
Apple Watch, watchOS 2.2.1, Gold Aluminium
If you have AppleCare it may be worth getting it replaced (they do not repair this type of damage on Apple Watches). But if not I don't think the cost would be worth it personally.

Hi
The case of Apple Watch Sport has an anodized finish. The only way to restore an anodized finish is to completely remove it and re-anodize the whole case.
Apple does not recommend using cleaning products or polishing or buffing the watch with abrasives. Rather than fixing scratches or scrapes, use of abrasives (including mechanical polishing) would only cause further damage to the anodized finish:
