There is no work-around. The watch is activation locked which is an anti-theft measure that cannot be bypassed. Perhaps one of these articles will help:
If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
The only other possibility is if you are the original owner and still have the receipt, Apple MAY be able to erase and reset the watch. Use the "Contact Support" link at the top-right corner of this page.
