Disclaimer: Do not, under any circumstances, use toothpaste or any other abrasives on your Apple Watch.
It’s possible you’ve just damaged the fingerprint-resistant, oil-repellent coating. Under typical usage, this covering will wear away. However, it may have been damaged without causing damage to the screen underneath.

Apple’s Limited Warranty or AppleCare+ does not cover cosmetic damage unless caused by a manufacturing defect. If your Apple Watch has more than cosmetic damage, Apple recommends that you do not continue to use it. Apple Watch cannot be serviced by the user, and Apple does not provide a screen repair or crystal/screen replacement service.
If the problem isn’t covered by warranty (or AppleCare+, if you bought it before), your Apple Watch may be eligible for a charged out-of-warranty replacement. To arrange for your Apple Watch to be inspected and determine your available service choices, contact Apple Support (mail-in support may be available if needed), make a Genius Bar reservation, or simply visit an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Note: Apple does not advocate using cleaning chemicals or polishing or buffing the watch with abrasives, whether or not the screen has been scratched; these will wear away the coating and may (further) scratch the display.
A decent quality screen protector (of the thin film variety) might be able to obscure or reduce the visibility of the mark while also offering some protection against future harm.

So, we recommend that you wipe the screen thoroughly to rule that possibility out. However, we would advise you to use a microfiber cloth and be extremely careful.
Step 2: Now that you are sure that there are scratches on your Apple Watch, you need to remove it. The technique to remove scratches from the Apple Watch screen is reasonably straightforward if you have the correct product.

Actually, the procedure is the same as when cleaning the screen of your iPhone or iPad.
Step 4: You can also use a lint free swab to spread the paste across the Apple Watch screen. Perhaps, the damage to your watch screen was only minor, it could be fixed using this method, and your Apple Watch will seem almost brand new.
