If you mean it got washed as in a washing machine, the soap could have and likely did pit the aluminum finish on the watch and there may be no way to fix that. Apple specifically warns against getting an Apple Watch in soapy water.

- Apple Watch band cleaning I’ve has my Apple Watch 10 months and I’ve wore it quite a lot. One thing I haven’t done is Looked after the rubber band strap. I have the pink rubber band strap and it’s so dirty that it’s basically not pink anymore from all the dirt, gross I know. But does anyone have any tips on how to clean so I can get most of the dirt off. As you can tell from the photo it’s soo bad help is needed. 14703
- Cleaning a watch bandHello!I've recently purchased the 2022 Apple watch pride band, and have worn it for a while now.However the colors appear to fade a little bit because of usage, and I wanted to clean it but wasn't sure if there's any proper way to do it, obvious answer would be the washing machine but I'm afraid that it might deteriorate faster? Is there some proper way to do it or can I just chuck it in.Tamme 23001

That's unfortunate, but the wash likely permanently damaged the finish on the watch. There would be no warranty on that.

I've never gotten an aluminum Apple Watch, always opting for the Stainless Steel model. The price difference was negligible for so much more watch.
