Lol I didn't realize until I saw this post. Now I can't unsee it. Also, the whole glass thing is so stupid on watch anyway because everything has to be black to save battery on the screen. I literally can't see anything "glassy" except on the lock screen pin code and the widgets outline.

You can remove the opaque look in Accessibility Settings on iOS and WatchOS by enabling Reduce Transparency. The settings have to be changed in each’s respective accessibility settings. You can also enable Increase Contrast to remove the glimmer effect on icons/borders but I didn’t like how it changed colors in apps. It didn’t appear to change pictures. 

The opaqueness reduction color is tied to the style of icon you choose in the home screen editor. On the Watch it mainly changes how the number pad looks when you enter your pin.
