I bought an apple watch and it is activation locked. I don't know the old email or password to log into this watch. How do I remove the lock so I can use this watch?

There are two ways. One I have already provided.
The other is to ask Apple. I didn't bother posting that one because they require you have very strong proof of ownership such as legal documentation tying you to a deceased person, or an original Apple receipt in your name.
I am not able to get the previous owner information. That would have been the easiest way but I am not able to do that. I know there are ways to unlock it I just don't know how.
No, the only way in this case you can remove the Activation Lock is for the person holding the lock to fix it. Is there a reason you cannot contact them or they can't release it?
Bought an iwatch and the activation lock is on and don't know the apple ID or password to be able to use this watch. How do I get the lock off?
