No, there is no way to disable that.

Submit your feedback to Apple requesting such a feature here:

Meanwhile, move the watch a bit further up your wrist. You may find that moving the watch a bit further toward your elbow will also increase the accuracy of the heart rate monitor.

You're in luck, I spoke to Apple Support today and they offered this tip:

In the Apple Watch App, under General > Watch orientation, flip your view to "Digital Crown on (other side)".

I also switched my band around because I like it how it was.

Problem solved 🙂

Another forum member recommended that. He prefers to wear it that way as well.

While flipping the watch around does take care of the problem, I really think Apple is missing the obvious thing: screenshots are not particularly useful on the watch, so you should be able to turn it off.

PS I will be giving feedback, too.
