They have to follow the directions in this link before you can use it. If they can't remove the watch from their account, it's useless to you. This is what they have to do --> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else - Apple Support

Tell us the actual story behind the watch. For example, did you purchase a used Apple Watch?
It was given to me by a family member who recently received a new one.
thank you!
