Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that cannot be bypassed. Only the previous owner can remove the lock with their password. If the previous owner cannot or will not remove the lock then the watch is useless to you or anyone else. Apple will not help you find the previous owner. Try to get a refund or dispose of the watch properly.


In the future see the 'Before you buy a watch from a third-party' section of:
