Activation Lock on Apple Watch

I don’t have my old phone, I don’t know my old apple ID, and I no longer have access to the email I used to set it up. How do I remove the activation lock on my old apple watch without any of that information?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

If you still have it, contact Apple Support with your proof of original purchase. Otherwise, with no Apple ID and password and no means to recover that, and with no original proof of ownership, this Watch is indistinguishable from a lost or stolen Watch. Recycle it.
