How can I unpair a second-hand Apple Watch to connect to my phone

I recently bought an Apple Watch Series 4 on Facebook marketplace yet I can’t seem to pair it with my phone because the person I bought it from won’t unlink it from their phone what can I do?

Nothing you can do to pair it if it is still connected to previous owner.

Contact the seller, return the watch and get your money back.
