Send the previous owner this link as the watch was clearly NOT prepared correctly for a new user --> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else - Apple Support


If they are unable or unwilling to do what was required, return the watch for refund as until the previous owner removes the watch properly, it is totally useless to you. Apple will NOT help you. We cannot help you. Only the owner who locked the watch can help you.
