I tried living with just the Apple Watch instead of the Touch ID for a few months to see how reliable it was... Sometimes it would take a few minutes in the morning before my Mac would even recognize 'hey, there's a watch' (typing in my full password was usually much quicker than waiting for the watch unlock). Sometimes whatever notification happens that triggers the watch to vibrate and allow the double-squeeze-to-accept action would just... not. Other times the above notification would pop up about 8-15 seconds after the prompt on the screen. It was inconsistent enough I got _really_ good at typing my password, since it was normally quicker than waiting on the Apple Watch. Contrast that with the Touch ID, that's always ready to go.
