Hello Musapartel,


It looks like you joined the Apple Support Communities from the following page: Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support.


However, it sounds like the Apple Watch may have Activation Lock enabled on it. To learn more about how Activation Lock works on your Apple Watch, look over the information on this page: About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support.


Activation Lock can help you keep your device secure, even if it's in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering your Apple Watch. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to keep anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My turned on, and remember your Apple ID and password.


If you look under the section labeled "Turn off Activation Lock before you send your Apple Watch in for service, sell it, or give it away" from this page, it shows two different ways for you to turn off Activation Lock. You can turn that off from the device itself or from the iCloud website.


We hope this information helps you out.


Best wishes!
