Hey yurii114,

Thanks for using Apple Communities.


I'm sorry to hear that. Apple watch needs to be removed from FindMy for setting up with other apple ID.

In case it's not possible to contact previous owner and You have proof of purchase documentation You can submit Activation Lock support request using the article below.
