Mac Studio doesn't log in with Apple watch on first try

My mac studio never logs in with Apple watch on the first try. I have to cancel the log in and then have to try it a 2nd time for it to log in with Apple Watch. I've tried turning off the "log in with Apple Watch" and turn it back on, but same thing happens.

A few things come to mind.


1) The Mac may have a slight delay in launching those services after a wake/restart or there is a slight delay reconnecting

when the Watch comes back into range.

2) There is an intermittent or poor connection as Grant suggests.

3) I'm not so keen on flipping a Mac Studio or Mac mini upside down. Instead I would consider standing it on edge if the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals are week.
