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

Prepare the watch so the buyer can use it.

Start by tapping the "I" button on your Watch"bottom right corner", which will bring up your device's name. Then on your iPhone, tap the device name that matches the one displayed on your Apple Watch. You'll see a six-digit code will appear, which you'll enter on your iPhone.
