Pairing an iwatch with a new phone

I bought an Apple Watch and I was trying to pair it and the peospn I bought it from I guess hasn’t deleted it from their account. Is there anyway I can reset it so I can pair it with my phone? The Apple Watch I bought, the serial is FHLRJ38WGR7N

You seem to be describing activation lock, which you cannot break without the previous owner's Apple ID and password. The best thing to do will be to contact the previous owner and see if they can remove it. You can read more about Activation Lock on an Apple Watch as well as about what you can do when it happens here: About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
