The fact it says it does not recognize the Apple ID suggests it was not prepared correctly. Make sure the directions in this link were followed exactly --> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else - Apple Support


Is her iPhone updated to iOS 16.1? If no, it should be as well.
