I just got this Apple Watch from someone that forgot the Apple ID for it and so I don’t know how to unlock the Activation lock

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.
