So I have a Apple Watch I brought from Craig’s ... it isn’t locked nor is it password protected. What it does have is several functions that are disabled. Power slider disabled, reset button disabled and won’t allow pairing. Please help

Based on your description, the Apple Watch has not been unpaired and erased by the previous owner.


I suggest that you return the watch to the seller. If they are not able to erase the Apple Watch and prepare it for you to use as your own, then I suggest that you request a refund.
