Locked Apple Watch for Verizon

I bought a brand new Apple Watch 7 + cellular. When I put the IMEI into Verizon to start a line, it says that the Watch is locked. How do I get this unlocked? According to the Q&A on Target, it was coming unlocked.

Watches are not locked to a carrier. You need to contact Verizon about activating the cellular on your Watch. You need to activate cellular for the Watch if that is what you want.
