I purchased an apple watch from someone and it still has their apple ID in the phone, so I can't set it up.

Is there a way to remove someone's apple ID from an apple watch. I purchased one from someone and it has his ID on it so I cannot set it up with mine.

You have to have them remove it as per the steps in this link


What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else

Without doing this the watch is useless to you.
