I brought a galaxy watch ultra it powered on new but now it's asking for a rest pin. Any idea why?

Rest PIN or reset PIN?  You should have enabled a PIN on your watch to prevent anyone from getting at your personal data while it's off your wrist or while you are sleeping.  If you set a security PIN for the watch, you will need that PIN, should you need to ever reset your watch - this, too, is to prevent someone other than you from resetting  your watch.  If you have not set up an unlock PIN on your watch, you likely will have to set up a reset PIN, for the reasons stated above.  This may be a new feature they added.

I brought it off an third party app and they shipped it to me like that. Thanks. I'll reach out to them.

Be very wary of buying pre-owned devices from third party sites.  Not all of them make sure that devices were properly deactivated or unlocked.
