Apple Watch Series 3 still shows Activation Lock after removal confirmation

Hello Apple Support,


My Case ID is ***


I received confirmation that Activation Lock was removed from my Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS) 42mm.


However, it still shows “Apple Watch Locked to Owner” when pairing with my iPhone.


Please recheck my case and confirm whether Activation Lock has been completely removed from Apple’s activation server.


Thank you.
