please help me get my Apple watch set up

My daughter gave me her Apple watch when she got a new one. She no longer has access to the email she used to set it up originally. I have proof of purchase and need to pair it to my phone. How do I do that?

You can ask apple to remove the activation lock online on this page;

Remove the Activation Lock Here.

Or this;

If you can't remember/gain access to the apple id that paired the watch to the phone.Take the watch and it's receipt with the serial number along with some photo id and any other proof of ownership to an Apple Store and request that they remove the Activation Lock for you.
