No. Only by using 'Find My' can it be located. See:

If your Apple Watch is lost or stolen - Apple Support

At the very least, put it in Lost Mode.

How to know if apple watch is stolen? Hi, is there any way you can find out if apple watch is stolen before buying? In this case seller has new watch, box is not opened so watch was never used or connected to any id, but he has no receipt or proof of purchase (saying it was gift), so it could be stolen from post office or in some process of shipping to someone who bought it, or from some store storage, so is there any way to find out if the watch is being searched for by some store, or buyer? If you buy it, and it turns out it was stolen ,can store or person who bought go to apple with serial number or imei number and track it once you turn it on or connect it to network and your id? be safe. Thank you
