So is there nothing I can do

If you can't get the previous owner to remove the lock on the watch, NO. You've likely been scammed. Apple will NOT help you. We cannot help you. Unless the owner who set up the watch removes the watch from their account, you are the proud owner of a useless watch.


Either get your money back or recycle the watch if you don't know or can't get help from the seller and chalk this up to a bad buying decision.
