I just bought an Apple Watch from a pawn shop and it’s still connected to the previous owners Apple ID. Is there any to bypass the unlock to hook it to my phone since I don’t know the previous owner?

It can only be done by the previous owner. Without it, the device is useless. I suggest you return it for a refund if they cannot contact the previous owner. About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
