Apple Watch keeps on talking

My series 7 just started talking when I woke up the other day. I couldn’t figure out how to turn it off, because the voiceover is on but also disabled to be changed to off. Here’s a screenshot of the accessibility setting from my watch app thru phone and inside the setting app from my watch itself.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
