What to do with a slight scratch on watch?

As long as it doesn’t change the functionality, you could just not worry about it.
Can you feel the scratches with your finger nail? If so, they can’t be removed. If they’re light enough where your watch is relatively new (Like a Series 4), then perhaps they will fade with the Oleophobic coating [Which is a protective layer over the display] once it starts to wear off.
Leave it alone - you're likely to make things worse trying to hide them.
Yup. Don’t try any topical remedies (Solutions/cleaners) that someone thinks will hide/remove scratches, it will only make the display _worse_. The best option is to use a screen protector, which will conceal the scratches if they’re not too deep. Otherwise, let’s face it, it’s a watch, it’s meant to be scratched/abused, that’s what happens when we wear things on our wrist. I think some go little overboard worrying about a scratch on a smart watch.
I guess you have the aluminum Watch, right? I had the same after a few months. I just sold it and bought myself a stainless steel Apple Watch. It still is spotless after 7 months of use. 
I’ve got a few scratches on mine and can’t see the point worrying about it. It’ll be dead in a drawer after 3 years and it’s not like you’re keeping it pristine as an investment. Use it and enjoy it.
