Apple Watch cannot be physically tracked / located in the same way as some other Apple devices.
It is not presently possible to track, find or recover your watch via any Apple service (with or without the serial number and regardless of whether or not Activation Lock was enabled beforehand).
If Activation Lock was enabled on your watch, you can mark it as missing either via the Watch app on your iPhone or via iCloud.com.
Mark as missing:
- Disables Apple Pay cards on your watch.
- Keeps Activation Lock enabled on your watch, even if someone erases it (your Apple ID and password would be required before anyone else could pair your watch to their iPhone).
Instructions and further information about this feature are available here:
If you had added cards to Apple Pay on your watch, you can also call your card issuer to advise them of the theft.
Also report the theft to your local law enforcement / police.
