You need to contact with the seller and ask to remove this device from their Apple ID. Unfortunately, there is no way around to by-pass this.

If you could reach to seller, you can send him/her the article below to how to remove Activation Lock for this device.

The person that you bought/got this watch from needs to follow all the steps on this page;

Remove the Activation Lock so that the buyer can use it.

If they can't or won't then get your money back or recycle the watch and mark it down as a bad experience.

Neither the users on this forum or Apple can help you,only the original owner can help you.
