How to remove Activation lock of an Apple Watch?

I bought a Series 6 Apple Whatc from a used electronics store who forgot to delete the previous owner's account, I don't know the previous owner!

Go back to the store and ask them to contact the previous owner or give you a refund. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure.
