auto unlock with Apple Watch not working

when I try to 'check' the unlock Mac with watch option in sysprefs, keep getting message to 'login to iCloud on watch app on iPhone'. BUT I'm signed in to icloud on iPhone, and on Apple Watch and all my other devices.

yes, they all appear in the same find my phone screen. I had also logged out of iCloud on iPhone (which auto logs out of watch as well), logged in again, restarted MBP, iPhone, Watch. As far as I recall, until 2 or 3 days ago, watch unlock was working fine. In the interim haven't installed or upgraded since I'm already on latest OS on all devices

10.13.4, 11.3, 4.3 resp.

Well, amazing, after some time (maybe 1 hour or thereabouts), I got a notification/popup if I want to use Watch to unlock my MBP. I happily :) clicked yes and SysPrefs opened, the check box 'to unlock with Watch' option got ticked and now Watch login/unlock is working fine!!??? I don't know what happened; maybe the steps I mentioned earlier did something to correct the error.
