Gave Apple watch to a friend

I gave my old watch to a friend. She is trying to use it, but it keeps saying it's connected to my apple ID, but I have a new watch that is connected to my apple ID that i am currently using. What can i do?

Please refer to What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else - Apple Support. The article explains:

'If you already gave away your Apple Watch, you can erase and turn off Activation Lock from iCloud.com. Here's how:

  1. On a computer, go to Find My iPhone on iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID. 
  2. Select All Devices, then click your Apple Watch.
  3. Click Erase Apple Watch. Select Next until the device is erased.
  4. Click the X button  next to your Apple Watch. "
