I bought an Apple Watch series 5 from a pawn shop but when I got home and started to set it up it said it was activation locked to the previous owner. The pawn shop isn’t giving me anymore info on the seller how to go about getting this lock off?
Apple Watch Series 5
If you can't get the pawn shop to take the watch back for refund, you've purchased yourself a nice, but totally useless to you, wrist ornament. Apple will NOT help you. We cannot help you. Activation Lock can ONLY be removed by the person originally put the lock on the watch.
Return it for refund or recycle the watch responsibly.

Activation Lock is a theft deterrent feature with no bypass or workaround.
Without the owner's authorisation (Apple ID & password), no thief or anyone including you can re-use the device.
