If this is a used device, the previous owner needs to log out of iCloud or go to https://www.icloud.com/find/ and erase the device, then remove it from their account. If they won't do that, the device is useless. Apple won't unlock it.
Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support. *
If you are the original owner, contact Apple. Apple can remove the ID if provided the required paperwork to include the original purchase receipt with the serial number on it.

Thanks for the advice. The watch is new and the problem seems to have been solved with an update.
You are welcome.
