Read about 'What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else' - "Use these steps to remove your personal information from a device, even if you don't have it anymore. Or make sure that the watch that you're about to buy from someone else is ready for you to use." Click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT208855

You likely now have a useless Watch. :-( See if you can get a refund.
