Activation lock on Apple watch

I bought an apple watch from a thrift store and it is activation locked. There is no way I can think of to figure out who the previous owner was. Is it just useless now?

activation lock is there a way I can go around someone’s activation lock? Bought an Apple Watch from a store who had previously sold it to someone else and they didn’t realise the activation lock was on. I cannot contact this previous owner as we have no details. Any ideas?
