Unlock with Apple Watch very unreliable in 1Password 8 - system sleep seems to break it for 1PW8
I use 'unlock with Apple Watch; on my Mac, a lot. As well as using it to unlock the Mac itself, I have several apps that use it one of them being 1Password 8. I often leave my Mac with 1Password open...

Moderator1PW8 just displays its window with the 'Enter your password' field and no offer of watch unlock nor any Apple Watch icon. Clicking in the password field and hitting enter just causes it to wobble.
That should not be happening. I am using the latest nightly and I tested the behavior against the beta.
it does not result in the issuance of the unlock with watch dialogue
That's odd. This works for both 7 and 8 and has for a very long time. I tried to replicate your experience in 1Password 8 beta/nightly and I cannot do so. It might be that you types a character in the field. Please make sure there is no text entered into the password field when using the trigger. It should trigger any biometrics.
On my MacBook (M1) on the initial wake from sleep no icon is shown. After a few seconds the watch icon appears. I can click it or use the shortcut I described earlier. What kind of device are you using? Is it an Intel or Apple Silicone? I doubt it has any bearing, but you never know.
I've also had some folks have trouble if they were not up-to-date on macOS. They had ran out of space on their drive and the latest updates were not installed. It might be worth checking to make sure no updates are pending installation.
