·At some point I ordered a relatively large pack of these cloths (Amazon link) for various things I wanted microfiber for from cleaning boots to just generally wiping down surfaces I didn't want to scratch. They are incredibly soft, I keep one with my sunglasses, several in my boot box, and for watches.
I really like these, but honestly I use the inside of my t-shirt to clean my watch much more commonly than anything else. MAYBE this is the casual equivalent of picking your nose, but my t-shirt is on-hand and is typically relatively clean, and it only takes a moment to wipe the watch down in a private ceremony if I'm concerned someone will think I'm being low-brow by not pulling my dedicated cloth out of my breast pocket (or whatever). I've got to admit I also habitually wipe the watch face down multiple times per day in this way.
If your watch has a sapphire face you are ridiculously unlikely to scratch the face, I can't speak for anyone else but in 15+ years of wearing sapphire I've never scratched one. Obviously a case of steel/titanium or precious metal is going to be a lot easier to scratch, and the most common thing you're going to have to worry about is dust containing silicon in one form or another (tiny pieces of sand or quartz, for example). Silicon containing stuff is fairly common, quartz is one of the most common minerals on the entire planet and you're probably encountering it in a dust form every single day. But it has to get on the surface and then it has to be driven into the surface with pressure. Brush your watch off lightly first, then apply more pressure, will help reduce this.
The inside of your t-shirt is pretty unlikely to contain anything that could do that, imo.
As always, YMMV.

·I like these glasses cloth from Toraysee:
https://www.amazon.co.jp/s?k=toraysee&crid=370UY1BFX3EML&sprefix=torays,aps,260&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
They are a little different from the usual smooth microfibre cloth. They have a little texture, which I find helps lift marks, dirt etc easily. My girlfriend uses them to clean her jewellery too.

··Seamasters ForeverGood added context. I had thankfully managed to forget that a somewhat more easily scratched anti reflective coating was ever put on top of something that was essentially impossible to scratch, thus leaving you with something that you couldn't buff out yourself (major pro of hesalite) with ease.
I sold an Omega, and the purchaser found scratch or scratches on the AR coated cristal top. I didn't have the eyes to see, but that's what he claimed. With my new AT, I am careful to use only and eye-glass cleaning cloth.

·I use that Apple microfiber cloth for my watches as well, but like previous member posted as well I also use a poliwatch kit.
I get by using a soft brush tooth brush with dishwashing soap and use a microfiber cloth to dry it.
Omega and Rolex have been known to use AR coating on the outer crystals and if you pay attention to the exterior you can easily spot scratches on the coating, a dremmel kit and some poliwatch can buff it out to brand new. Omega will charge 1k to replace everything.

·On my PO I use warm water, mild liquid hand soap, soft bristle tooth brush, and micro fiber cloth to dry. I also use a few blasts of canned air to clear the water from under the rotating bezel and the spring pin areas of the bracelet. Be surprised at the water it gets out. Stay away from compressed air out of a tank or compressor. Friend cleaning a wet Casio G-shock launched it out of his fingers it clear across his garage and bounced it off a wall onto the concrete floor. Yep it lived, a bit banged up though.
