Watch locked

I bought an Apple Watch second hand . The person I bought it from has their email attached to it so I can’t unlock it . And I can’t get ahold of him anymore . Is there any way I can unlock the watch and reset it or have I just been scammed .

iPhone SE, iOS 14

Yes you've been scammed;

The person that you bought this watch from needs to follow all the steps in this link;

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 put it down to experience.
