Try the following. Also remember that unlocking a Mac with an Apple Watch requires a computer from 2013 or later. But this should help you out, hopefully :)
1. Go to Settings > Security and Privacy
2. Uncheck "Disable automatic login" and check "Allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac."
3. Enter your password and click OK.
4. When your Mac is asleep, simply lift the Apple Watch as if you were checking the time. Both the watch and the display will confirm that the computer is unlocking.

Sadly this didnt solve my problem.
My mac is MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018). I dont know what causing this error.
Iwatch is also new series. The error started after a software update.
And I’m assuming you already have two factor authentication enabled on both the Mac and the Apple Watch?
Yes I do.
May be its related the latest update? But it seems like I am the only one with this trouble.
