Just polish it with some very fine sandpaper

Perhaps try the polish Swatch sells for their watches. It’s only 9 bucks.

Screen replacement

Maybe you can get one of them screen protectors that uses glue or resin. It’s better than nothing and you won’t feel the crack. I’ve seen people use privacy screen protectors to hide scratches and even small cracks on screen.

Yes, by watch replacement.

Take it to a third party shop that offers glass only repairs. That would run you around $120CAD at my shop.

Sell it on eBay, Mercari…and buy a new one. There, fixed without screen replacement as you wish.

I would try filling the scratches with toothpaste and rubbing it in. Now you have scratches that are greasy and minty as well. You’re welcome.

Scratches are too deep to be polished out
