Apple Watch to unlock MacBook Pro

After the latest update (about 2 weeks ago from 10/7/2020) My watch no longer unlocks my macbook pro. I've tried resetting my watch completely, and my phone. I have "forgotten" the WiFi that they connect to and reconnected. My computer just says "Unable to communcate with Apple Watch, make sure it is unlocked, on your wrist and your phone is unlocked."

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 7

I have exactly the same problem with my MacBook Pro and my iMac desktop since updating Apple Watch. To complete the Apple Watch update I had to follow instructions to unpair my watch and set it up as a new watch because there was insufficient capacity for the update. Since the update neither device will allow me to select the option to allow Apple Watch to unlock them.
