Hi

Apple Watch cannot be paired with your MacBook Pro. It requires an iPhone 5 or later running the latest version of iOS.

Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Auto Unlock requires a mid-2013 or later Mac running macOS Sierra:

• Continuity system requirements
• Automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Check that you are following the steps here:

Automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Your Apple Watch should be connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth and your iPhone should have both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled.

Your profile says:

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

To have your watch unlock your phone the Mac has to be mid 2013 or later and has to be running Sierra

Hi

The following steps may help:

• On your Mac: check that both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled.
• On your iPhone: check that both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled:

  Settings > Bluetooth, Settings > Wi-Fi.

• Check that your Mac and iPhone are connected to the same 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
• Check that your Apple Watch is on your wrist and unlocked.
• Check that your Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth:

  When viewing the time on your watch, swipe up on the watch face to open Control Centre > check that your watch states Connected with the icon of a green phone.

• Check that your Apple ID is using two-factor authentication (as opposed to two-step verification):
  • Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
  • If you are currently instead using two-step verification, follow the instructions here to turn it off (under "How do I turn off two-step verification?") before enabling two-factor authentication:

• Check that your Mac and Apple Watch are signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID:
  • On your Mac, choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
  • On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then go to General > Apple ID.
  • It may help to sign out and sign back in on your Mac.
• Check that your Apple Watch is using a passcode:
  • On your iPhone, open the Watch app, then tap Passcode.
  • If the option is presently enabled, try turning off Unlock with iPhone.
• Check that Handoff is enabled on each of your iPhone and your Mac:
  • On your iPhone, go to: Settings > General > Handoff.
  • On your Mac, go to: System Preferences > General - near the bottom, check the option for "Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices".
  • If these settings are already enabled, it may help to disable and re-enable Handoff on each device.
• On your iPhone, check that iCloud Keychain is enabled:

  Settings > iCloud > Keychain - turn on iCloud Keychain.

• Try moving your Apple Watch closer to your Mac.

  They need to be very close for the feature to work.

• Try restarting all three devices.
• Keep in mind that, after setting up the feature, your password will still need to be entered manually the first time that you log in.
