Q:  watch calling 911 repeatedly

My wife just updated her phone and watch a day ago, the watch is on 3.0 OS and the phone iOS 10.2

For some reason her watch is going crazy, it will power cycle itself many times randomly in the day we are also now expereincing the watch is calling 911 repeatedly. We've reset the watch and also reinstalled iOS 10 on the phone, yet the watch continues to dial 911. We've since shut the watch off.

HELP????

I think that the bigger button and the screen has a problem, as when you long press the button, there is a option to call 911.

Hi

To turn off the "hold to auto call" function:

On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Emergency SOS - turn off Hold to Auto Call.
