No one can help you reach the owner whose ID is locked to the watch. Apple will NOT help you. We cannot help you.


As Rudegar correctly suggests, if you bought a used Apple Watch, which is locked to a previous owner, you've most assuredly been scammed and wasted your money on a useless device you can never use.


If you did buy a used Apple Watch, see if you can get your money back. If you can't get your money back, recycle the watch responsibly as it is utterly useless and there is no one who can help you.
