So I bought an Apple Watch 3 series but the owner didn’t unlink his account and I can’t contact him, how can I reset it myself? I don’t have a computer either.

Sorry but only the previous owner can do that, it can be done without the watch being present, on their computer.

This article explains how to do that:

If you can't get in contact with the previous owner, you can't use the watch.
