It’s darn near impossible. I put a 1500 grit sanding disc on my drill and went to town sanding an ion-x watch screen. I had bought a cheap icloud locked watch just to experiment.
Once it’s scratched, they’re there forever. If that bothers you than get a sapphire screened watch.

Well i guess i have to wait for the next gen. 😂
Tanks for sharing your experience thou
There isn’t. Use a screen protector, that will conceal minor blemishes/scratches. As noted already, the ‘sapphire display’ is literally impervious to the scratches.
Agreed. If you have a scratch and it’s bothering you, put in a screen protector to hide it. If not, just live with it
I am not crazy about paying the price of the SS model, but I pay. At the same time, I know if I got aluminum, it would get scratched very quickly and it would really bother me having a screen all scratched up. Save yourself the pain and get the. SS model. 
I have had two aluminium watches with the screen scratched, no matter how careful I was, they scratched.
Nos with my Stainless Steel Watch not a single scratch, the screen is gorgeous.

It can if the scratch is very small and superficial. It seems to work for a lot of iPhone and iPad users.
Thats the plan 👍🏼I am not crazy about paying the price of the SS model, but I pay. At the same time, I know if I got aluminum, it would get scratched very quickly and it would really bother me having a screen all scratched up. Save yourself the pain and get the. SS model.
It can & often times does. A lot depends on how large/ deep the scratch is though. I've never gotten a scratch on my watch, so I can't say with certainly based on personal experience. But I have seen users post here several times that they have done just that. And I've been able to hide scratches on an iPhone & iPod by using a screen protector; I'm fairly certain the watch would work the same way.
I think I may hang on to the series 6 (when purchased) for a few years. My series 5 wont be a year until November and I don’t relish upgrading the watch every year, not that i really need to. lol
