How can I unlink a second-hand purchased Apple Watch if there’s no way to contact the previous owner

I am having issues linking to a second hand purchased Apple Watch because the previous owners account is still linked to the watch, the problem is I have no way of contacting the previous owner AT ALL..is there a way of unlinking the previous owners account without them being around??
