If you had your watch paired with your iPhone in the past, the watch uses the same Apple Account (formerly Apple ID) that has been used with the paired iPhone.

In case you can not remember the Apple Account details anymore and you have proof of purchase or ownership, contact the official Apple Support and ask them to disable the Activation Lock.
