Activation Lock is designed to prevent anyone else from using an Apple Watch if it's ever lost or stolen.

Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that cannot be bypassed. Only the previous owner can remove the lock by using their Apple ID & password.


If you are the ORIGINAL owner (and have the receipt), then see the 'Start a support request' section in:
