All Apple Watches have cheaply made heart monitor plastic
Whether your Apple watch cost $250 or $10,000 it appears to have the same cheap plastic heart rate monitor that scratches easily when used with the charging cable. I only have the cheap one and assume the high end ones are made of ceramic or gold and different materials like sapphire for the lens. IT would appear that Ion-X glass is durable enough but not the plastic back, seems like an oversight or attempt to cut costs when margins are already plentiful. Had mine replaced outside of warranty for free due to faulty battery and tried to avoid scratching the back but there's a slight scratch on one of the sensors. Doesn't affect functionality but still looks bad. What is your experience with trying to avoid scratching the back?
