Someone here told me about this and I tested it out and it works fine but I was never sure how far away you had to be to inorder for your mac to lock/unlock. 99% of the time I manually lock my machine when moving away from my desk but how close do I need to be for the Apple Watch to unlock it? It gets me a bit paranoid to come back to my machine all ready and waiting.
 
Not something I've ever thought about, if it makes you paranoid and it's in an office space, then just disable it?
That is the thing. It isn't in a open space as such. I live in a shared house with 7 people and normally people are pretty good about staying out of our rooms but it is just the fact that they could that makes me a little worried.
