Apple watch series 6

So, my friend gave me his series 6 watch.

I factory reset it, and tried to link it to my phone. But it says I need to unpaor it from the old phone. Which, neither him or I have..

And he doesn't remember the code.

How do I get past this so I can use it?

Getting a Proof of Purchase:

Where did he purchase it? Contact the seller, requesting the receipt.

  1. Go Here: About the purchase date or expiration date for your AppleCare agreement - Apple Support
  2. As it Reads: "A sales receipt with the receipt number, product description, original date of purchase, price, and reseller details constitutes a valid proof of purchase."

Getting this Set to Factory Settings:

Does this friend of yours have the original receipt? If so, he might be able to get it set anew. Set up a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store.
