Apple Watch Activation Lock.

Can the previous owner be contacted by way of the serial number associated with their cloud account to assist in deactivating?

Is there any way to turn off an activation lock on an Apple Watch without the previous owner? I found an Apple Watch at my gym. I turned it into the office and they looked for the owner, posting on Facebook etc. after about six months, they still couldn’t find the owner and told me that I could have it. Only thing is there’s the activation lock so I can’t use it :(

I'm afraid there is no way of contacting the previous owner, and only they can unlock it. Unfortunately, given your inability to contact them you will not be able to use the watch.
