Apple watch unlocks closed laptop

I use apple watch to unlock the macbook pro M1. It work great when laptop sits at home on my desk.

But then when I finish work I close my laptop (just the lid - not putting it to sleep) and put it in my bag.

After few minutes the watch would start to randomly unlock macbook when I walk on the street.

It would do it every now and then.....this is really frustrating.

This doesn't happen every day and all the time.

I can't find the pattern when it does that.


anyone experience that? I can only find post where watch is unable to unlock, for me is the opposite.

macbook and watch up to date.


Cheers
