Apple watch Issue

One of my uncle had connected the apple watch to his old iphone and he gave it away to his wife. The iphone was reset and now he can't seem to remember his old apple id to remove the activation lock. What should we do so he could get the activation lock removed from the apple watch?

You can ask apple to remove the activation lock online on this page;

Or this;

If you can't remember/gain access to the apple id that paired the watch to the phone.Take the watch and it's receipt with the serial number along with some photo id and any other proof of ownership to an Apple Store and request that they remove the Activation Lock for you.
