Apple Watch not letting me after being erased

Hello, everyone.


My sister gave me her watch series 3 because she does not use it anymore. Today she erased it for me so I could pair it with my iPhone but it is going to the “activation lock” screen.


It says the watch was lost and erased and that I need her ICloud to log in.


Anyone have any ideas as to what is going on?
