Apple Watch pairing

How can I connect my Apple Watch it won’t let me pair it. It says I need to contact the original owner and have them remove the device which they did and it’s still not working

It sounds like the watch is still Activation Locked. See the step 2 in the "Before you buy a watch from a third-party" section of:
