FingerPrint Lock issues when i connect my phone to Moto 360 or any Bluetooth device

I have recently linked my Moto 360 watch to Samsung S6 32Gb phone; I use finger print to unlock device.
The moment i have connected my watch, it shifts to swipe. But in Lock Security Features i noticed it lock mode is fingerprint scanner.

If i disconnect my watch or turn of bluetooth - everything works fine.

Do you have your watch set as a trusted device? Maybe that's disabling the lock screen?

Yup. Sounds like you have it as a trusted device. Not entirely sure where Sammy has it, but this is how it works on stock Android so it should at least get you close. Settings<Security<(shows up once you change your screen lock from swipe to something more secure)<Smart Lock<Trusted devices/places/faces/voice/on-body detection

Go to settings then search for smart lock. Remove it from safe devices. It pops up when you pair it to all of you want it to be a trusted device. If you say yes your phone won't mock when it's paired. I loved this feature until my phone kept unlocking in my pocket. Plus it's more "work" to unlock having to swipe the screen than using the fingerprint scanner.
