Scratch on Apple Watch

User uploaded fileNew scratch like marks on Apple Watch. I wore my Apple Watch and a new titanium watch on the same wrist at the same time (incredibly stupid) and the scratches on the left side were the result. A couple on the left side and one longer one in the very top left corner. Looks like the titanium scratched through the first layer or something. Anyone know how to fix, or just cover up the scratch? Thanks!

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 4.3.1

From your photo it looks like the damage is to the surface layers, hopefully not enough to create a weak point where the glass may crack in the future. You can't (or at least should not) try to polish the scratches away because all you will do is remove the fingerprint resistant layer and possibly damage the touch sensitivity. The only way you can deal with this is to cover the damage with a screen protector, but the flat tempered glass ones will not cover the scratches on the curved edge so your choice may be limited. Google "apple watch screen protector" and start browsing.
