the activation lock is not really on the ipad it's a theft protection measure on apples servers
it needs to be removed
if you don't know your appleID Recover Your Apple ID - Apple
if that does not help you then you need the assistance of apple
Additional Support - Activation Lock (apple.com) and or
Get Support (apple.com) , Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple

Whoever "gifted" you the watch must be able to remove the watch from their account, thus removing Activation Lock. If they can't or won't, they have "gifted" you a totally, completely useless watch you can use for nothing more than a wrist ornament.
Without the original purchase receipt which shows the serial number of the watch, Apple will not help you.
Bottom line - Get whoever gifted the watch to you to remove activation lock or give it back to them. Or if that's not possible, recycle the watch responsibly as it is useless to anyone.
