Why is Smart Lock not working on my Samsung S6?

[AC Question]

I have a new Huawei Android smart watch and I enabled Smart Lock so that as long as the phone and watch were connected by Bluetooth the phone would remain unlocked. If they are not connected, my fingerprint would unlock the phone. But enabling Smart Lock seems to have no effect - the phone remains locked when connected to the watch. I have rebooted the phone multiple times after turning off security and Smart Lock then turning them both back on after rebooting.

Did you add the watch as a trusted device?

You have to fingerpirnt in at least once while connected and then it will stay open until the next time you are disconnected and reconnect and you will have to fingerprint in one time.
