I bought a watch off of someone on Facebook, I tried setting it up to my phone but the watch has an activation lock on it. I tried contacting the person who sold it to me but they won’t respond. Is there anyway I can get it removed?

Activation Lock is designed to prevent anyone else from using your Apple Watch if it's ever lost or stolen.
About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that cannot be bypassed. Only the previous owner can remove the lock. Apple will not help you find the previous owner. If the previous owner cannot or will not remove the lock, then the watch is useless to you or anyone else. Try to get a refund (through eBay) or dispose of the watch properly. In the future, see the 'Before you buy a watch from a third-party' section in:
