These are less likely to be scratches, more likely to be "materials deposition" - in other words, a softer material that has been deposited on the harder material (like chalk deposited on a chalkboard). As such, they may buff-out over time (soft cloth, no abrasives).

Unfortunately, there’s no way to remove those. I would almost have to see your watch in person, as the photo isn’t clear enough. If you can ‘feel’ them with your finger nail, it’s likely etched into the glass. But also, there’s really method to remove any damage.

That said, and not that this won’t help you any, but it’s a smart watch, I wouldn’t worry about it, Being watches are worn on our wrists and subject to damage, being it’s a disposable device.

Nope. If you're really bothered and have AppleCare+, you can use one of your damage claims on it. I've had similar issues in about the same spot. Nothing helped. I ended up using it as an excuse to upgrade.

I am also not aware of a method to remove those. I got some scotch on mine as well and I was really unhappy for a week or so, it's in the upper left quadrant but I have to hold it at a very specific angle to see it, not visible under "normal" use, I can feel it though ... but as said above, it's a disposable device. And mine might get replaced with a 6 or maybe not, I'm still loving it and it looks quite pristine even though I'm rather hard on it ...

Watches are NOT a disposable device.

Did you want to contribute anything to the thread that’s relevant to the topic on topic? In the sense of the OP concerned about a scratch on the watch itself, it’s a disposable tech device at the end of the day, it’s generated of silicon, not high-end premium mechanical parts. It’s obvious you don’t understand that.
