[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1779288, member: 38928"] Neilf - I can't reproduce what you're experiencing (without bringing the iPhone into play). Consider unpairing and re-pairing. Lisa/Jake, I have an original Apple Watch and an iPhone X. My results: Phone locked - put watch on - both remain locked. Phone locked - put watch on - unlock phone - watch unlocks (works if on or off wifi). Unlock phone - put watch on - watch unlocks (only works if both are on same wifi). It would seem to me that both being on the same wifi and the phone being unlocked there is a trust decision being made to allow unlocking of the watch. It also appears as though the factor here is the iPhone X rather than the AW version. I haven't tested if time is a factor and whether the phone being recently unlocked has an impact over it being unlocked for a longer period of time. [/QUOTE]
