OK. I'll never understand why people change their Apple ID? Changing the actual Apple ID causes all sorts of issues down the road.


If you don't know the Apple ID used to set up the watch, you're going to need to find the original purchase receipt with the watch serial number on it and ask Apple to help you remove the lock. We can't help you with this.
