Only the owner of the account used to lock it can remove the activation lock.

Activation lock is a theft deterrent feature.

Activation Lock still active I wanted to give away my watch to my brother. I have unpaired the watch from my phone, removed it from iCloud, etc., followed all the steps but still doesn't help. Now he cannot pair it, but neither do I. The watch is now useless. Is there any way to resolve this?
