How to override Apple Watch settings for new users?

Son bought home in Virginia. Bought new range. Apple Watch was behind it when new range moved into position. He was unable to locate previous owner.

Watch was sent to me in Texas.

How can I use it?

If it is activation locked to the previous owner you cannot use it without contact with the previous owner due that activation locked is a theft deterrent system

Please hand it in at the local lost and found office
