Hi
You are describing Activation Lock, which prevents unauthorised use of Apple Watch if it is lost or stolen.
To be able to pair the watch to your own iPhone, you would need the previous owner to either:
- Enter their Apple ID and password on your iPhone, or;
- Turn the feature off via https://www.icloud.com/ by signing in with their Apple ID > Settings > My Devices > Click on Apple Watch > Click on the "X" > click on Remove.
You will not otherwise be able to use the watch (there is no way around this security feature).
