Hello ~ That is the activation lock. If the person/persons that you bought the Apple Watch from cannot or will not remove it …the watch is basically useless to you. If they cannot/will not remove it…return it and get your money back. We cannot help remove it nor can Apple. Take a look here…

There is always the possibility that the watch could be stolen as well.
