For those who are running WatchOS 3, is there a way to disable the SOS or reassign another function to the side button?
 
The auto-call function can be disabled. When disabled, can still access SOS function in power screen (it just doesn't auto call).

Doesn't look like you can assign the long-press to something else.
 
Yeah I was wondering this as well, so when you long press on the button it automatically calls 911? I think there will be a bunch of calls made in error to 911 if that's the case.
 
Yep, you can disable the feature.
