Second hand Apple Watch Series 6 GPS Activation Lock Problem

I have bought a secondhand Apple Watch online, I tried to set up and pair it with my iPhone however the previous owner’s Apple ID still appear in the Activation lock. The problem is I cannot contact the owner for her to remove the device from here iPhone. Has anyone experienced similar to this situation and what are the solutions to consider? Thank you so much for your kind responses.

The person that you bought this watch from needs to follow all the steps in this link;

Remove the Activation Lock so that the buyer can use it.

If they can't or won't then get your money back or recycle the watch and put it down to a bad experience.
