You can erase the watch via find my on iCloud.com
See this instructions on how to do that
- In Find Devices on iCloud.com, click All Devices, then select the device you want to erase.
- If you do not see All Devices, it is because you have already selected a device. Click the name of the current device in the center of the Find Devices toolbar to see the Devices list, then select a new device.
- Click Erase [device].
- Do one of the following, depending on what you want to erase:
- iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Apple Watch: enter your Apple ID password or your family member’s Apple ID password. If you are not using a trusted browser, answer your security questions or enter the verification code that is sent to your other devices. If you are using your own computer and want to skip the verification step in the future, click Trust. If you are using a friend’s computer, click Don’t Trust.
- If the device is lost and you are asked to enter a phone number or message, you may want to indicate that the device is lost or how to contact you. The number and message appear on the device’s locked screen.
If your device is online, the remote erase begins after you follow the onscreen instructions. If your device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it is online.
