Can I activate the Apple Watch series #7 under my iCloud?

I purchased an Apple Watch however I cannot get it to pair. iCloud is locked and I do not have any information such as passcode or email for the watch. Can I activate the watch under my iCloud?

Activation Lock is designed to prevent anyone else from using an Apple Watch if it's ever lost or stolen.

Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that cannot be bypassed. Only the previous owner can remove the lock by using their Apple ID & password. Apple will not help you find the previous owner. If the previous owner cannot or will not remove the lock, then the watch is useless to you or anyone else. Try to get a refund (through eBay) or dispose of the watch properly.
