 you need to be able to contact the previous owner to have them log out of iCloud or go to https://www.icloud.com/find/ My Phone and erase the device, then remove it from their account. If you can’t do that, the device is useless. Apple won't unlock it.

See Turn off Activation Lock https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201441and 


About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205009. If you can't turn the activation lock off using the instructions given in the link and want to make it functional, you'll need to get help from the legal owner. Doing so undoubtedly won't be possible. And, even if it is possible, the legal owner is not going to help anyone use a watch that most lkely was stolen form them.
