Apple Watch SE unlocks without full passcode

Several times now I’ve put my Apple Watch SE back on after charging and I only get 2-3 digits into entering the passcode when it fully unlocks (I have it set to a longer than default passcode). This has me very concerned about security especially with the phone unlock via Apple Watch coming in 14.5.

Make sure that you don't have unlock with iPhone toggled on.
