Please help. Apple Watch with iCloud lock on it.

I recently bought a apple watch of off craigslist. The owner that i meet up with showed me the watch working then reseted it. When I got home and try to connect it, it had a iCloud lock on it. I believe the person i bought it from was the owner because he showed it to me working with the apps being able to use. I tried contacting him via the craigslist email but he never responded. I just thought he wasn't checking it because he doesn't have a reason to. Can I send a email to him via iCloud on the watch.

Apple Watch Series 3

If you cannot reach him, the watch is absolutely useless to you. Activation lock cannot be bypassed by anyone other than the person who put the lock there. Apple will not help you either.
