Hello to everyone,
Apple Watch To Unlock Mac Not Working
today I found that I was not able anymore to unlock my Mac with my Apple Watch.
Here’s a DIY guide on how to unlock Mac with Apple Watch. The procedure may seem lengthy, but it is worth the effort. Requirements to Use the Auto Unlock Feature: Mac with 2013 or recent macOS Sierra. The Apple Watch with watchOS 3 beta 2 or anything recent. Connection of both (Mac and Apple Watch) with identical iCloud account. Your Mac and Apple Watch are signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID. On your Mac, choose Apple menu ( ) System Preferences, then click iCloud. On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then go to General Apple ID. Your Apple Watch is using a passcode. On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then tap Passcode. More information.
My setup is as follows:
- iMac 21,5'(late 2013) with macOS 10.12.6
- Apple Watch Nike+ 42 mm (series 2) with watchOS 3.2.3
- iPhone 6 with iOS 10.3.3
Unlocking Mac With Watch

This functionality always worked flawlessly up to a week ago when I disabled it because I sent my Apple Watch for a repair.
I received yesterday my new unit and made a recovery from a backup.
This morning I re-activated on the iMac the function 'unlock with Apple Watch' but the system prompted me firstly to unlock the iPhone (done) and then, after some minutes, that my Apple Watch needed to be worn and unlocked for this function to work; obviously I was wearing it and it was unlocked.

Apple support pages do not offer any help about this issue, except for a list of the requirements (Automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch - Apple Support) for this feature which, in my case were met.

I tried in this order:
- restart the Apple Watch;
- restart the Mac;
- restart the iPhone;
- disable and re-enable the handoff feature on the Mac;
- disable and re-enable the handoff feature on the iPhone.
After every action, I tried to activate the unlock feature unsuccessfully.
Any help?
