And the user can manually force a lock, from the watch, overriding the proximity/signal strength. To intercept this the attacker would need to decipher the messages.

Not if the attacker stops the relay right after the PC is unlocked.

No, if it happens the program falls back into the "user is away->lock the computer" mode.

So what happens if my watch shuts down for some reason while I'm using the computer?
