Hi
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 have become scratched without damaging the screen beneath.
Unless the issue is due to a manufacturing defect, cosmetic damage - including scratches - is not covered under Apple's Limited Warranty (or AppleCare+). Your watch may be eligible for chargeable, out-of-warranty service.
