I just bought this Apple Watch from someone and they must not have removed the Apple Watch from their devices so how do I set it up now?

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

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.
