Are you the original owner of the Watch, or did you purchase this from an individual? If you are the original owner, you will need to recover your Apple ID and password. It should be the same one as your iPhone. If this is a second hand devices that you purchased from someone and it still has their Apple ID on it, you have encountered Activation Lock. You will need to contact them to remove the Activation Lock or the device is useless to you and you will not be able to remove the Activation Lock.
