Apple Watch Problem Hi I recently sold a buyer my used Apple Watch. I completely reset it and it was no longer connected to my phone or hooked up to Find My. However the buyer says that the Apple Watch cannot pair to her iPhone. They say that the watch says this “If you were given this device or purchased it second hand, you need to contact the owner to have them remove this device from their account.” I need help on what to do about this because we both don’t know how to fix this. I have been to iCloud.com and looked at Find My but the device isn’t there, so I can’t turn off the activation lock if that was the problem. I would definitely appreciate the help.

Given Watch SE but cannot remove Activation Lock even the previous owner removed it from his iCloud ACNT Given an Apple Watch SE recently. The previous owner has removed the watch from his iCloud account but I still failed to pair the watch with my phone. It kept asking iCloud account sign in! The previous owner is in another city in the case we cannot go to a Genuis Bar together. Frustrating! Any idea of the problem to be solved remotely? Thanks!
