Need help with Apple Watch

I just bought an Apple Watch series 3 from a previous owner. The owner deleted the device from their Apple ID but whenever I try to pair the device to my Apple ID it keeps saying I am unable to access this device from my Apple ID.

Old Apple Watch still saying it is connected to my Apple ID Hi, I have sold my old Apple Watch Series 3. I have deleted it from my list of devices as shown when I log into my Apple ID online. However, the watch is still asking for my Apple ID password and won't let the new owner link it to her phone/Apple ID. I have looked at the following information: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT205009 ... but since the watch is not listed as one of my devices, I don't know what to do next. Does anyone have any advice?

Trying to set up apple watch Hello there, My original apple watch was lost and I am now using my husband, he has deleted his watch from his cloud and Apple ID and when I try to set it up on my phone it doesn't let me. It says " If you were given this device or purchased send hand, please contact the owner to have them remove this device from their account." So now we are stuck! Can anyone help??
