Hi!
For some reasones my Apple Watch S2 sometimes won't unlock Macbook Pro (15" Mid15). The text "Unlocking with Apple Watch..." hangs for 5-10 seconds and then password field appears. Both my iPhone7plus and the watch are right next to the macbook. No errors shown.
Restarting Macbook helps, but not for long.
Any ideas whats happening and how to fix this?

Hi! Thanks for your response. I already turned on this feature with out any issues. The problem is that sometimes autounlock feature fails without explanations.
In this case try
Try these general steps.
1. Reset your Apple Watch.
2. Sign out from your iCloud account and sign back in again.
Looks like macOS 10.12.1 update fixed the issue
I have had the same problem repeatedly...with a Watch 2 and a Macbook Pro early 2015.
It was recently resolved by turning Bluetooth off and on...another more recent time, it was resolved with help from an Apple Support person who went through my MacBook Pro and checked ALL settings were right plus all were right on the Watch 2 too.
After logging out of my iCloud account on my MacBook Pro, then logging back in (plus restarting my MacBook Pro), my Watch 2 started unlocking my MacBook Pro again.
Two days later, though, Unlocking failure happened again.
I am going through more typing to unlock my MacBook Pro WITH the Apple Watch 2 than I would be without it....epic fail :-/
