Wrong Apple ID when pairing watch

When I try to pair a watch that was given to me as a gift, getting to the messages part it gives me wrong Apple ID. I didn’t everything it says for me to do I did and it does not change. What can I do ?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

The generous giver need to read this Apple article -> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else

What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else - Apple Support (IE)

 

Then the generous giver has to remove the Apple Watch from his/her account, see this Apple article:

Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in

Then you can -> Set up your Apple Watch -> Set up your Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK)
