Selling dead apple watch as 'damaged/for parts' without resetting.

Hi. My Apple Watch series 1 was left in the back of a drawer for a year and will not turn on. I'm selling as 'damaged/for parts'. The watch does not show on my iCloud account and is not paired with my iPhone. Will it be okay to sell without resetting? Or will my account be at risk?

Thanks

Seller Wont Unpair Apple Watch So I bought an Apple Watch from someone on OfferUp and I assumed the reset process would be easy. Just factory reset it and all is well, I did not know that it's a whole unpairing process and the seller did not know that either. I looked it up and I found the step-by-step process on how she can go about it through iCloud. I have the messages, I went to go pick it up, and I followed the factory reset process step by step but her apple Id was still tied to it, that's when the problems started. I asked if she can help, but it seems like she doesn't want to help me out with the process. Where does that put me in the situation? Do I just take the loss and throw away a "dead" apple watch or is there something apple can do for me?? Thanks :(

Pre-damaged Apple Watch Hey, everyone! 2 days ago I bought Apple Watch. I brought it home and opened it. As soon as it turned on I saw a white vertical line on the display. Right after seeing it, I turned off the watch and put it back in the box in order to bring it to the Apple Store. Do you think I can go to any Apple store location in order to get replacement or do I have to go to the store where I bought it from? And did anyone else had a problem like that? Thank you :)

Should not be a problem if it's not paired and off your account
