temporarily disable apple watch unlocks of mac

Thanks for clarifying what you were hoping to accomplish, petyo90.

There isn't a Focus setting to be able to prevent your Apple Watch from unlocking your Mac automatically. You would have to change that setting, which would no longer allow you to unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch at all.

There is an official Apple feedback form we'd encourage you to fill out with this suggestion for future changes to the Focus feature. Here's where to fill it out: Product Feedback - Apple

All the best.

Hi petyo90,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

We understand you want to create a Focus to allow notifications from specific apps, but to prevent Mac from being locked during this time with your Apple Watch. You can create the Focus and add the contacts and apps you want to be allowed during this Focus.

Choose which notifications to allow

You can specify which notifications are shown when a Focus is active—for example, notifications from certain people and apps, time-sensitive notifications, or notifications for phone calls received on your Mac.

Note: Some apps, such as Calendar, have time-sensitive notifications. To ensure you receive these notifications, select the option to allow them.

1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Focus  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)

2. Click a Focus on the right.

3. Go to Allow Notifications, click Allowed People, then do any of the following (click Done when you’re finished):

* Allow notifications from certain people: Click the pop-up menu next to Notifications, then choose Allow Some People. Click the Add People button , then select one or more contacts. For example, for the Gaming Focus, you might select the friends you usually play with in multiplayer games.

* To remove a person from the list, move the pointer over the person, then click the Remove button .

* Silence notifications from certain people: Click the pop-up menu next to Notifications, then choose Silence Some People. Click the Add People button , then select one or more contacts.

* To remove a person from the list, move the pointer over the person, then click the Remove button .

* Allow notifications for phone calls: Click the pop-up menu next to “Allow calls from,” then choose an option. You can receive notifications for calls from everybody, allowed people only, only people in your contacts list in Contacts, or only people in your Favorites on iPhone.

* Allow notifications for repeated phone calls: Turn on “Allow repeated calls” to receive notifications from anyone who calls two or more times within three minutes.

10. Go to Allow Notifications, click Allowed Apps, then do any of the following (click Done when you’re finished):

* Allow notifications from certain apps: Click the Notifications pop-up menu, then choose Allow Some Apps. Click the Add button, select one or more apps, then click Add. For example, for the Work Focus, you might allow notifications only from the apps you need to do your work.

* To remove an app from the list, move the pointer over the app, then click the Remove button .

* Silence notifications from certain apps: Click the Notifications pop-up menu, then choose Silence Some Apps. Click the Add button, select one or more apps, then click Add.

* To remove an app from the list, move the pointer over the app, then click the Remove button .

* Allow notifications for events or tasks that require your immediate attention: Turn on “Time sensitive notifications.” (Make sure you also select the option that allows apps to send these notifications in Notifications settings.)

Not what you want, but what about putting the Apple Watch into Airplane mode?

But that would also stop it from talking to your iPhone. Worse it also puts your iPhone into Airplane mode 😭
