You cannot bypass the Activation Lock yourself on an Apple device without the Apple ID and Apple ID password that was used to set it up before it was reset.
If you can provide proof of ownership, Apple may be able to remove the Activation Lock for you. Proof of ownership must include the product serial number, IMEI or MEID. You can start an Activation Lock support request here: https://al-support.apple.com/#/additional-support

You can also use your iPhone do erase the Apple Watch, if you have forgotten the passcode.
Have a look at the related article:
If you forgot your Apple Watch passcode - Apple Support
In case this does not work, use the Additional Support - Activation Lock, as suggested by timdifferent in the answer above.
