Apple Watch activation lock

Spoke with Apple today as my brand new apple watch brought through online John Lewis, has activation lock when I try to pair it. I have not tried to pair with my account as I cannot get past the activation Lock Screen. They have told me to take back to John Lewis and explain the problem. Has anyone else out there had this issue with a brand new watch brought from a reputable high street store? Thank you

Whether anyone has or hasn't won't help you. If the watch you bought from this retailer is activation locked, you need to return it for refund.
