Hello GmTice,
This is a setting that can be enabled to add some extra security to your Apple Watch. This setting, and ways to adjust it, can be found at Lock or unlock Apple Watch - Apple Support.
You can unlock Apple Watch manually, by entering the passcode, or set it to unlock automatically when you unlock your iPhone.
* Enter the passcode: Wake Apple Watch, then enter the watch passcode.
* Unlock Apple Watch when you unlock your iPhone: Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Passcode, then turn on Unlock with iPhone.
* Your iPhone must be within normal Bluetooth range (about 33 feet or 10 meters) of your Apple Watch to unlock it. If Bluetooth is off on Apple Watch, enter the passcode on your watch to unlock it.
