OK try this

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch

On Youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXBcNcbTcqg&list=RDCMUCYFQ33UIPERYx8-ZHucZbDA&start_radio=1&rv=UXBcNcbTcqg&t=25

It will ask for your Apple ID password. If that is successful then they no longer have their ID on there.

If it asks for their ID then you are in big trouble. They will have to remove it. I doubt if this is the case but I want to be sure.

and then

Set up your Apple Watch

Or in Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rb3vX86RUQ&list=RDCMUCYFQ33UIPERYx8-ZHucZbDA&index=3

They would have had to go through the activation lock removal (part of unpairing) before you could pair it to your iphone using your Apple ID. In that case they have no access whatsoever to the Watch or its data.

It’s because they helped me set it up, they put in some sort of icloud or email of theirs at the beginning then they let me scan it on my phone. That’s why I was wondering if them putting in either their icloud or email effected me from them seeing my stuff still.
