Apple doesn't get involved in lost or stolen devices and no, it can't be tracked via its serial number anyway.


If it was never activated, there is literally no way to track it. If it was a Cellular model, see if your cellular provider maintains a Blacklist of cellular devices. But that won't prevent someone in possession of the watch to use it as a GPS only model.
