You can't. He must remove the watch from his account. Send him this link and him follow the directions. If he can't or doesn't, you're the proud owner of a watch you can't use and no one from Apple will help you with.

He needs to do what is listed in the section, if you already gave away your watch --> https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208855
