new apple watch

Hello! My friend got a new apple watch from Rent A Center, and the “find my watch” is still hooked up to the previous owners iphone. RAC doesn’t want to contact them about it, so is there any way we can reset it on our end?

The person that you bought this watch from needs to follow all the steps in this link;

Remove the Activation Lock so that the buyer can use it.

If they can't or won't then get your money back or recycle the watch and put it down as a bad experience.
