Series 3 watch; Unlocking your Mac not supported with your Apple Watch.

I had my Series 0 watch working to unlock my mac before but now I can't get my new series 3 watch to do the same.


The watch shows up in the settings but when I select it this message pops up:


"Unlocking your Mac not supported with your Apple Watch.

Update your Mac’s software to allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac."

High Sierre fixed it now also for me - but not initially - I had to rebind my watch on the iPhone first as a "new watch" - after that unlocking worked perfect again..


So reseting the watch after installing High Sierra also resolved it for me! 🙂
