Apple watch

My Apple Watch is not paired to any phone and when I try pairing it it’s coming up with another Apple ID that’s not mine. Is there a way I can change the Apple ID. I can’t access anything on the watch as it’s not paired….

iPhone 11, iOS 15

If you just bought/got this watch from somebody then they kindly left the activation lock on and before you can use it they need to follow all the steps on this page;
