Apple Watch generation 3

The Apple Watch was given to me and I’m trying to pair it with my phone and I can’t get past the activation Lock Screen. The old owner has removed it from his devices in his iCloud. What can I do?

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Activation Lock on Apple Watch I have a Apple Watch that has the Activation Lock on it that is still paired to the previous owners phone. He will not respond to my messages to help me get it unpaired from his phone so therefore it’s useless to me. Is there anyway to get past that without his help?
