Mine just worked, without me having to do anything. I actually forgot about the new feature, and when I tried it while wearing a mask, my iPhone just unlocked and I received a little haptic alert on my watch when the iPhone was unlocked. It was very slick.

I upgraded all my Apple devices to the latest firmware but if I have my mask on and I need to unlock the I phone, and in the settings where the Face ID is, I have ticked the box which specifies that your watch will unlock your I phone if a Face mask is detected. So how will this work? Do you have to put a nasty mask on first and get a new Face ID as you can have two? It won’t work so I’m finding out how will this work please?
