Try this step as provided in the following article: Unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch. "In Security & Privacy preferences, deselect 'Use your Apple Watch to unlock apps and your Mac,' then restart your Mac and turn this setting back on."

I am having the same issue. Last week I reset my Apple Watch (v7.2) and the unlock feature worked fine...until today. I've unchecked the notation on my MacBook Air (v11.1 - Big Sur), turned the laptop off/on, reset the notation in Privacy settings with no success. I hesitate to AGAIN go through this process, hoping for an easier, less time-consuming task. I thought that this was fixed with the latest update?
