If the Apple ID is yours, maybe an old one you forgot, then https://al-support.apple.com/#/getsupport

When you get access to your old ID you can sign in and remove the Watch from there

Of course if this was a gifted or "found" Watch and was never yours then any Apple device with activation lock still applied is totally useless to the new "owner" unless the original owner can be contacted.

Further information can be found here About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
