It is hard to say how many years it will be supported, but it currently does run the latest the latest watchOS. Be sure to follow the steps in the 'Before you buy a watch from a third-party' section of:

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

to be sure Activation Lock is removed or you may end up with an expensive paperweight.


Activation Lock is designed to prevent anyone else from using your Apple Watch if it's ever lost or stolen.

Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that cannot be bypassed. Only the previous owner can remove the lock with their Apple ID & password. Apple will not help you find the previous owner. If the previous owner cannot or will not remove the lock, then the watch is useless to you or anyone else.
