Help with activation lock please?

Hi to everyone. My problem is that I want to pair this Apple Watch I have with my iphone 11 and I don’t have the previous watch owner ‘s icloud id/password to turn off the activation lock. The previous owner was my little sister watch and she doesn’t remember anything about the creation because she barely used the device. Nonetheless, I have it’s box with everything in it to prove we bought it! What can I do?

What you would need is the original store receipt with the watch's serial number on it. Then Apple might help unlock the watch.
