416 × 496 px, as the App Store states it on August 29, 2026.

What this size is for

A modern Series-class watch dimension and a comfortable default for a new watchOS listing — big enough to read, small enough that one glanceable idea fills it.

Watch screenshots are the hardest in the store to design: at this size a caption is roughly two words, and anything smaller than about 24 px of type disappears.

Whatever you pick, keep it: Apple requires the same watch size across every localization of the app.

The mistake to avoid: Designing a watch screenshot like a phone screenshot — device frame, headline, subhead. At 416 × 496 there is room for the interface and almost nothing else.

Devices in the apple watch slot

The App Store files these devices under the same slot, so one set covers all of them:

Ultra 3, Ultra 2, Ultra
Series 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
SE 3, SE 2, SE

Will this file work on Google Play?

At 1 : 1.19 this canvas is inside Google Play's hard rule that no side may be more than twice the other, and inside its 320–3840 px bounds — so it uploads. Play still names 1080 × 1920 as the portrait size that makes a listing eligible for the placements where it recommends apps using screenshots, so treat this as a fallback rather than a plan.

Design at 416 × 496 without doing the maths

Open the editor with the canvas already set to 416 × 496, drop your app screens into a device frame, and export the whole set — watermark-free on the free plan.
