Preventing Mac to restart with Watch after sleep cmd.

Hi.

My setup: Macbook Pro & Apple Watch.

Situation:

I have the auto-startup activated on my MacBook Pro. When i come close to my MacBook, My Watch activates the computer - That is ok.

BUT....

When I want to go away, I normally activate sleep-mode (Alt+Cmd+"disk-out-key").

Tha computer acts like it's ok, but right after - my Watch reactivates my computer 😟

How to work around this ???

I tried this. But then I have to set a timeout for the auto-sleep mode, and I can't leave the computer with still time to display anything. ?? By the way - my Macbook Pro is closed, and I have 2 monitors running.

Well - I guess my workaround is still the only solution then. I have set one corner on the screen to activate screensaver - but it's not the same.... Thanks anyway.

Just setup the Mac to auto sleep/power nap (depending upon model Mac and Mac OS version)
