Make sure "All Items" or "Passwords" is selected in the "Category" in the sidebar.I don't see them in my keychain, I deleted those 2 files, tried again, and still didn't work.

Watch missing LTK and is unable to communicate with Companion to potentially sync it
I did.
Watch has old LTK for Mac
Interesting. If you haven't already, I'd probably try wiping the watch and pairing as new (I did that before all this).That helped, but nope, at least not yet. Now I get this:
Code:Watch has old LTK for Mac
At least it now fails a whole lot faster.

That's good to hear. Just for others' benefit, did you reboot your Mac or Apple Watch?I followed your instructions, LongZheng, and at first it didn’t seem to work. I would still get the error message about not being able to communicate with the Watch. Then I rebooted, tried again, still the error message. Trying a second time after rebooting it worked!
Thank you so much for posting these instructions! This has been so frustrating to me not having the Apple Watch Mac unlock feature.
I've finally fixed it! I found a bunch of errors related to "AutoUnlock" in the Console that was hinting to me that there was some invalid state on my Mac with keys and plists not being reset properly. After clearing/resetting them, I can now successfully pair my watchOS 7 Series 3 to macOS 10.15.6.
Interesting. I think I also activated it twice myself (without restarting), I thought that was maybe a glitch but sounds like you might need to activate twice. I'll update instructions.Followed these instructions and worked! Needed to try activating the watch unlock twice before it worked, no rebooting of anything completed, just worked!
Thanks!

Steps (follow at your own discretion)
- Open "Keychain Access"
- In "View", enable "Show Invisible Items"
View attachment 954412- Search for "Auto Unlock"
- You should see a whole bunch of application passwords for "Auto Unlock: XXXX's ..." (this will reset/disable auto unlock on other Macs if you use multiple Macs)
View attachment 954403- Select all records and delete
- Whilst still in "Keychain Access", search for "AutoUnlock" (no space)
- There should be 4 entries for "tlk" "tlk-nonsync" "classA" "classC"
View attachment 954382- Select 4 records and delete (don't worry if they re-appear, the system repairs this automatically)
- Open "Finder" and navigate to "~/Library/Sharing/AutoUnlock"
- There should be two files "ltk.plist" and "pairing-records.plist"
View attachment 954386- Delete both files
- Open "System Preferences" and try enabling auto unlock and pray ?. You may need to enable it twice, the first attempt might fail.
