Since the recent update I would say the failure rate of the Apple Watch unlocking the Mac is about 50%. Seems to fail and request Touch ID loads. Before it would open every time.

Anyone else having this problem?

Only once when my MacbookPro said that there wasn't a strong enough connection between it and the Watch!

My Mac Pro 7,1 doesn't seem to want to unlock with the watch at all. When I get to the password screen, I get the spinning circle as if it's looking for the watch and then it asks me for the password.
Very odd.

Like NaimNut I've had the same experience. Just does not work all the time.
