Activation Lock on Apple Watch Series 4

I purchased an Apple Watch Series 4 and I knew it was activation locked when I bought it. I asked the previous owner and they said the Apple ID was not theirs. I wanted to know if 1) the watch was stolen or 2) if I could somehow get the full email address that the watch is tied to and ask that person if they could remove the activation lock. Would I just have to go to an Apple store to get the email or will they just recommend I buy a new watch?

Apple will not be able to help you. You should never purchase a used watch without having demonstrable proof that it is unlocked.
