You technically can't get the exact distance, but you can make one device act as a beacon and work on their Core Location proximity. You have up to three proximity states on which you can check the distance: CLProximityImmediate (i.e. the device are very close to each other), CLProximityNear (i.e. the devices are close to each other) and CLProximityFar (i.e. the devices are about to lose Bluetooth connection).

How do you check the proximity on Apple Watch? I can't recognize Beacons in WatchOS, so maybe I'm missing something? – swiftyboi Jan 06 '17 at 18:43

This solution uses CLBeacon which is not available on WatchOS. – João Costa Jan 17 '19 at 13:57
