Hey Saputra_andi!


Sounds like your friend's Apple Watch is activation locked to his iCloud account.


Since you said your friend is not using Apple anymore, I assume he no longer has his old iPhone either. So here is what you can have him follow these steps;

  1. On a computer, go to iCloud.com.
  2. Sign in with your Apple ID, and open Settings.
  3. Under My Devices, click your Apple Watch.
  4. Click User uploaded file next to your device.
  5. Click Remove to confirm.


These steps were taken straight from Apple's support site.


Please let me know if this helps!
