Q: Stop triggering emergency call on Apple Watch

Does anyone know how to stop the emergency call function (SOS) from triggering? That is to switch the darn thing off. I had an unfortunate incident where I was participating in a cycling event and the emergency call function was triggered somehow. It did it twice. The first time I managed to cancelled it, the second time it CALLED THE EMERGENCY service. Resulting in my trying to talk to the operator on the back of my bike trying to reassure the operator that it was my stupid watch that call them and not me. It happened again today when I rode to work. Luck it only got to the call screen and didn't call the emergency services!

 

I have the first version of the apple watch (sport) running the latest Watch OS!

 

Can anyone help.

 

Thanks in advance.
