Sounds like you do not recognise this other Apple ID? Did you just buy this Watch used? I suspect that the previous owner did not unlock it 


Any Apple device with activation lock still applied is totally useless to the new owner unless the original owner can be contacted. 


If the Apple ID is yours but maybe an old one, then https://al-support.apple.com/#/getsupport
