The watch needs to be updated to Watch OS 3, and the MacBook to macOS Sierra. Then go on the MacBook to settings --> security & privacy --> and select "allow apple watch to unlock your mac."

Automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Note your need a mid 2013 or later Mac with Sierra
