Apple Watch calling SOS automatically

My Apple Watch first generation has been automatically calling my SOS / emergency services number. It calls this number automatically even when its not on my wrist and no buttons are being pressed... How do I fix this..

Apple Watch, watchOS 4

Are you sure it is your watch and not the iPhone

Use Emergency SOS on your iPhone - Apple Support

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:

The next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup:
