iCloud activation issue

I have purchased a Apple Watch series 3 second hand, the seller was on Kijiji, the iCloud account was not removed from the device before I purchased it, At the time I wasn’t aware that this was even a thing, How can I set up the watch to my iPhone if they forgot their password or iCloud account ID or if they just don’t contact me back to take care of this issue ?


I spent $200 on a watch that I can’t even set up. Please help

Put it up as experience ?


to be honest if I paid for a Apple product that is next to new and I am unable to use it due to something Apple did to lock the device and Apple care is unable to assist a honest second hand owner then I think I am supporting the wrong company.


ontop of that “recycle the device so Apple can reset the device and turn that around as profit ?

That will be a be a hard pass !


thanks for the reply but I am not chocking up $200 to “experience”
