Marking apple watch as stolen after removing from icloud

Dear members, Need your help.

I'd sold my apple watch series 1 online and didn't received payment. Before shipping, I have removed my watch from icloud. Now I just wish if I can mark it as stolen or lost somehow so that it won't be used by the scammer. Apart from reporting reporting this incident under cyber crime act, Is there anything I can do to make sure that watch is not usable again using icloud account or apple can take a serial number of watch and mark it as stolen in their server/s ? I do have a serial number of watch with me. Please feel free to advise and guide in this regards.

Thanks and Regards

Thanks for your response.

I believe if apple can also blacklist that serial number of watch at their end to make it unusable, would be a good to have in such cases. Anyways, what I have lost is lost but I am just trying so as such scammers shouldn't be benefitted.

Any further suggestion/s from members is most welcome ...

Thanks

Apple does not have any method and does not keep a record of stolen devices so all you can do is report the theft to law enforcement and/or file an insurance claim.
