You cannot use this watch unless the previous owner removes the watch from their account. You MUST get the previous owner to do the following --> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else - Apple Support


If they can't or won't do this, the watch is useless to you. Apple will NOT help you. We cannot help you.
