I bought a second hand Apple Watch and the previous owner details are unknown, if I take the watch to an Apple store would it be possible for them to remove the account?

No. Return it to where you purchased it and get your money back. Apple will not intervene. The activation lock is designed to make a lost or stolen device useless to anyone other than the rightful owner.

If you can't get your money back, turn it over to the police.
