my apple watch wont unpair, and the activation lock is on so I cant reset and erase it. I just got a new iPhone 15 and I went thru the whole transfer data thing and tried to set up my apple watch, but it stalled out during the process, and now my watch is paired to my old phone, but I cant seem to get the old phone to unpair the watch, and I cant get the new phone to pair the watch. I dont dare reset the watch because it still has the activation lock on it so it will be toast if I reset. HELP!

Activation lock remains on an Apple Watch Series 5 44MM I recently bought from the previous owner and can’t further pair the watch to my iPhone. Need help given that I have tried to reach the client but to no avail Yes I am unable to pair my recently bought Apple Watch 5 series 44MM to my iPhone. Given that the customer reset the watch but failed to take off activation lock. Which has restricted me to proceed to pair.

Activation Lock still active I wanted to give away my watch to my brother. I have unpaired the watch from my phone, removed it from iCloud, etc., followed all the steps but still doesn't help. Now he cannot pair it, but neither do I. The watch is now useless. Is there any way to resolve this?
