    You said the feature was there... but note that that feature is not available for all (I have a Mid-2012 MBP and it's not)

    This option has disappeared whilst I was trying to set it up on my MacBook Pro Retina 13.  I could see it and selected it, received a message a few times saying unable to talk to watch, then option disappeared. 

    Everything is new, early 2015 model MacBook purchased new 3 months ago, brand new series 1 apple watch.  All updated and software up to date.  no reason for this option to not be there???
