Maybe you are mistaken and this Watch belongs to someone else in which case you can do nothing.

If it is still paired to your old phone then it is the same ID as the old phone.

The watch was bought for me I'm not sure second hand, but then I had it paired with my older iphone. I have gotten a new one since I broke that phone and I believe I made a new apple id with the store. Now with my ne3w phone I haven't tried to figure it out in like a year, now trying it's not making sense. I know my old apple id and new one shows on my phone. Is apple id and icloud same ****? Thnaks for trying to help.
