Those stupid iCloud locks.

hello Tracey,

this is like an icloud lock and cannot be removed without the help of a prior user. Often times, iPhones are sold with this kind of lock and turn out to be mostly stolen or missing devices. Contact the previous owner to have them disconnect from their iPhone or (if you purchased via ebay) initiate a dispute and return the device.

You have to contact the previous owner, tell them to remove the Apple Watch from their iCloud account. That is the only solution or the device is basically unusable
