Toothpick should work and not cause any scratches.

Of course, this version avoids the problem entirely!

Check around junk shops or in your obsolete gadget box and see if you can find an old stylus.
Most have a soft plastic/nylon tip and work fine and don't scratch the watch.

Or check your photocopiers at work, some have a stylus near the touchpad but nobody ever uses them.

Don't ask me how I know this 😉.

I use wood (bamboo?) satay sticks with my speedymoon which I found stronger and easier to handle than toothpicks. Should work with the Mark II.
