If you can't turn the activation lock off using the instructions given in the link and want to make it functional, you'll need to contact Apple support and have your purchase receipt for the watch from an authorized Apple seller with its serial number on it. See the support options below. Alternatively, if an Apple Store is open in your area, then you can go there to deal with your problem. In this case, you can make a genius-bar appointment (https://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/) if you want.
