Yes, it works with both my Zenwatch and my bluetooth phone at home. One of my favorite features.

thanks..do you have to use it with lock screen in a particular manner? ie any special swipe actions needed?
cheers

Since the 6.0 update, my smart lock works sporadically.

I'm guessing thats your problem... Smart Unlock works only with the native lock screen. If you have a 3rd party lock screen installed, I dont think it'll work.

hi.
no it was with stock lock screen..think it might be a finger print unlock issue or maybe android 6
cheers
