It could, potentially, report location based on the information it gets from a wifi network. I think you would want to be able to secure it with "find my iPhone" - so no-one else can activate it. If they haven't done that, that's a problem. (though, other than poolside or hotel rooms, I think theft of the watch will be somewhat difficult)
