Thanks in advance.
Yes it can be tracked, if it has Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, or any other outer sources connection. Any of these will give the device a unique "number", such as an IP, which can easily be tracked.
However, as others have mentioned, you gain very little from doing so. Any legitimate hacker wouldn't bother, even if you were a celebrity, or politician. You can get so much more from a computer, or mobile device, that a smartwatch is just pointless.
What I'd be more careful of is someone using it as an exploit to access your systems, such has using a handshake. Again though, for a hacker to take the time to do this, you'd need to really be on someone's blacklist. It's just pointless otherwise.
TLDR; Yes, but it's not worth it to any hacker.
