Activation lock on Apple Watch. I bought this Apple Watch from someone but I currently have no contact with the person. It’s asking for an activation lock but I don’t know the persons information or any way to get ahold of them. Is there anyway to get past it?

The watch is useless and can never be brought into service unless you can contact the original owner and get them to remove it from their Apple ID.
