Are you the original owner of the watch? If you are, did you use a different Apple Account to originally set up the watch? Activation Lock prevents lost or stolen Apple devices from being used by others.

If you can't gain access to the Apple Account that paired the watch to the phone, take the watch and your original receipt showing the watch’s serial number, plus your photo ID to an Apple Store and request that they remove the Activation Lock for you.
