Hello, my boyfriend gave me his Apple Watch because he doesn’t use it and I’m trying to pair it to my phone but it won’t work. He unpaired the watch from his phone and it still won’t allow me to pair the watch. What do I do?

How do I pair an Apple Watch to my phone that was given to me by my boyfriend who already once used the watch?

Did your boyfriend follow all the steps on this page?;

What to do before you sell, give away or trade in your Apple Watch


If not the watch is probably Activation Locked and this needs to be unlocked by following all the steps in the link above.
