Yes, you can say "check me out" instead of "watch me" here. The main difference between these two phrases is that "check me out" is a little more casual and less common to use. Also, the phrase "check me out" can have an alternate meaning in another context so it sounds a little better to say "check this out" instead of "check me out" in this context. Ex: I can do a handstand, check this out! Ex: Check this out, he can ride a unicycle.
