Yes, you can. If you're planning to buy the watch from someone you don't know and you can't see it in person, I WOULDN'T BUY IT. You need to know the watch has been prepared correctly for a new user, that means it needs to have been fully wiped, passcode turned off, all data removed and Activation Lock removed. If you can't see to verify this, you could be scammed. If you know the person you're buying from and can see it is ready to be paired, then you could be OK.
