To unlock the Apple Watch, you need the Apple ID and password of the previous owner, that were used during set up. So you have to contact the previous owner.
What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else
Then the previous owner has to remove the Apple Watch from his account, see this Apple article:
