Quoted from support document;

Unlock your Mac

While wearing your watch, just wake up your Mac—no need to type in your password.

Tip: Make sure your Apple Watch is on your wrist and unlocked and you’re near your Mac.

For the watch to know it's on your wrist,wrist detection needs to be turned on.
