Bought a watch but the owner doesn’t know the code for the watch

The person that you bought/got this watch from needs to follow all the steps in this link;

Remove the Activation Lock so that the buyer can use it.

If they can't or won't then get your money back or recycle the watch and mark it down as a bad experience.

I imagine that you're never going to be able to get hold of them since the person you got the watch from in the first place was most likely NOT the owner...

Do they still have the iPhone paired with the Watch? If so, they can go into the Watch app> General> Reset.

Try to Press & hold the crown button until the message pops up to reset to factory setting.

They "rewarded" you with an unusable device.

They did not remove the activation lock from it.

No.

Only the original owner can remove the activation lock full stop.

If it’s not activated lock and only passcode. Just press and hold the crown button until the factory reset pops up. Then you will be able to access it. Make a new passcode.
