Indeed. I’m surprised people even think about this stuff. Who cares? If you wear your watch it’s going to scuff up and develop patina. Some Japanese have a way of looking at things know as Wabi-Sabi. Embracing some of that philosophy would do some of you much good. You’ll be astonished how much freer and lighter and joyous you’ll feel every day you’re not possessed by possessions. Just a little friendly advice.

Scratches are almost normal getting in contact, it should stay on its own.

Yes, it can. The clasp scratches the nearest bracelet link...

Small amounts of dirt get between your wrist and the watch. That can cause small, fine scratches over time. The band touches along 2 "tracks".

The endlinks def scratch the case, and the clasp can also scratch the case back if you let it sit on the table

if you are that concerned with scratches get a better case. That pouch, official or not, is cheap and offers no protection.
