Apple Watch 5 isn't unlocked by unlocking iPhone

Hey everyone,


beginning with iOS 14.7 unlocking my iPhone doesn't unlock my Apple Watch 5 with watchOS 7.6 any longer. 


Everything is set up correctly ("unlock with iPhone" and so on), I restored the Watch, I set it up as a new watch...nothing helps.


Any ideas?


There seem to be more than me, it perhaps started even before the final release: https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSBeta/comments/ogfpr5/apple_releases_ios_147_beta_5_and_more_to/h4kzo5c?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3


Thanks <3
