I bought a watch from someone on Facebook Market Place, and it says it's locked to the original owner. I can't get ahold of anyone to get this information. What should I do?

If you can’t get the information to unlock the watch then it is pretty much useless to you. This is a safety feature to prevent unauthorized sales of Apple items. Contact the seller for the information and if they can’t provide it ask for your money back if possible.
