The “another” person will have to follow the procedure in this guide published by Apple 👉 What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else - Apple Support


Once the above has been done by that person, then the Activation Lock will have been removed from the Apple Watch and all data deleted. You can then accept the Apple Watch and follow the instructions in this guide published by Apple 👉 Set up and pair your Apple Watch with iPhone - Apple Support
