Apple’s wording: required for Apple Watch apps. Six sizes are accepted, and you must use the same one consistently across all localizations.

What this size is for
Apple accepts six Apple Watch dimensions — 422 × 514, 410 × 502, 416 × 496, 396 × 484, 368 × 448 and 312 × 390 — and this is the largest of them.
The rule that trips people up is not the size, it is the consistency requirement: you must use the same screenshot size for Apple Watch across every localization of your listing.
Pick one dimension for the whole app before you start localising, and 422 × 514 is the natural choice for a new set.
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 : 1.22 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 422 × 514 without doing the maths
Open the editor with the canvas already set to 422 × 514, drop your app screens into a device frame, and export the whole set — watermark-free on the free plan.

The App Store accepts more than one exact dimension here. Any of them uploads to the same slot — only one set is stored.
