Watch activation lock

I have purchased a second hand series 3 watch. When I am trying to pair with my phone it is saying the watch is lost and erased and needs the original Apple ID it was set up with. How can I get round this as the seller is not giving me the password to login just the Apple ID.

The watch is still Activation Locked. Activation Lock is an anti-theft measure that cannot be bypassed. I am afraid the watch is useless to you you or anyone else. See the "If you bought the device from someone else" section in:
