Its a great name, it is also a trademark. I dont know enough IP law to know if this is an issue. https://trademarks.justia.com/862/39/overwatch-86239314.html

Try it and find out?

Meh. That is just the Blizzard trademark; there are several other Overwatch trademarks that are military and security related that are probably a more likely overlap.

Definitely something to consider, but more in the "send a note to a trademark lawyer and marketing folks" than "rename our entire product and brand".
