About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that cannot be bypassed. Only the previous owner can remove the lock by using their Apple ID & password.
Here are two ways to unpair your watch if you no longer have the paired iPhone and remember your Apple ID & password:
- See the 'How to erase your Apple Watch if you don't have your iPhone' section of:
Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support
- With a web browser, go to: https://www.iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID. Open Find My iPhone and select All Devices (at the top). Then click your Apple Watch, select 'Erase Apple Watch', and select Next until the device is erased. Finally click "X" next to remove your Apple Watch.
Otherwise, if you are the ORIGINAL owner, then see the 'Start a support request' section in:
How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support
If none of the above helps, then the watch is useless to you or anyone else. Dispose of the watch properly.
