The issue isn't adding the watch to Find My, it's having a notification on another device should the watch be left behind in the same manner as an AirTag or iPhone. At present, Find My does not offer Notify When Left Behind for Apple Watches.
See the 'How to add your AirPods, Apple Watch, or Beats product to Find My' section in:
