how do I pair a second hand Apple Watch that is still connected to original owner prior to the owner that gave me the watch ?

how do I pair a second hand Apple Watch that is still connected to original owner prior to the owner that gave me the watch ? I've already logged into the iCloud of the owner and deleted the device however the Apple Watch is still stuck on activation lock apparently still linked to the original owner prior to the owner I received the watch from.

Without the cooperation of "the original owner prior to the owner I received the watch from," Activation Lock cannot be removed.
