I had the same problem - it worked for a while and then today stopped working. I did a hard reset on my phone (up volume, down volume, then hold power switch). Then I reset and cleared the watch, paired it again, and restored from the latest backup. On my phone, had to go to Settings / Face ID & Passcode / Unlock With Apple Watch and turn it back on again. Working again now. If you get that message again on your watch when unlocking your phone with a mask on, simply press the round button on the watch to dismiss it. If you tap Lock iPhone, you'll have to enter your passcode on the phone the first time you try to unlock with a mask on.
