Just two weeks into wearing the Apple Watch, and my timepiece was smothered with micro-scratches. Like any piece of stainless steel jewelry, scratches are completely normal. But also like any piece of stainless steel jewelry, if you're not happy with scratches, there's a way to remove them. Polishing stainless steel (and many other types of metal) works like this: A small amount of polishing cream is used to remove very thin layers of the metal. Assuming scratches aren't very deep, the cream will effectively remove the layer where the scratches exist. "Remove a layer of my Apple Watch?!" Don't worry. It would take many more polishing sessions than you'll ever conduct to actually degrade the metal. Here's what my Apple Watch looked like before the polish.
