My Apple Watch is second handed

Hello sthefany116,

The person you're getting the Apple Watch from should follow the process outlined here, so you're able to use the device: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else

If you're getting the device from a third party, please check out the process outlined here, which explains what to do:

Before you buy a watch from a third party

Before you buy an Apple Watch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, make sure that the device is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.

1. Identify the model of Apple Watch. 

2. Make sure that the previous owner removed Activation Lock from the watch and that the watch has been erased. They must unpair the watch and remove Activation Lock by entering their Apple ID password, so you can use the watch. 

* If you see the passcode lock screen or the Home screen, the device needs to be erased. 

* If you can, try to pair the watch with your iPhone. If you're asked to enter the previous owner's Apple ID password during setup, then Activation Lock is still on.

3. For cellular models of Apple Watch, make sure that the previous owner removed and cancelled any active cellular plans.

Thanks!
