How to bypass activation lock on watch
I bought a used Iwatch on eBay. Cannot pair, because someone else's Id is set up on watch. Cannot bypass activation lock. Any help?
Apple Watch Series 2
Hi
Activation Lock prevents unauthorised use of Apple Watch if it is lost or stolen.
To be able to pair the Apple Watch to your own iPhone, you would need the previous owner (who may not be the seller) to either enter their Apple ID and password on your iPhone or to turn the feature off via https://www.icloud.com/ (by signing in with their Apple ID > Find My iPhone > All Devices, then select the Apple Watch > Erase Apple Watch > Next until erased > click X next to the watch).
You will not otherwise be able to use the Apple Watch. There is no way around this security feature.
If the seller does not cooperate and the Apple Watch was misdescribed, you should seek to return the watch for a refund. If necessary, and subject to the purchase being eligible, consider making a claim under eBay's Money Back Guarantee.
Apple will not advise you of the previous owner's contact details (if different to the seller's), nor will Apple pass your details on to them.

(Note that it is never appropriate to ask another user to disclose their Apple ID email address and password to you. Nor will Apple exchange the locked Apple Watch for you).
