How to take a screenshot and share it on Apple Watch

As well as taking a screenshot on iOS device, you will use button of Apple Watch.

This screenshot picture will not be seen in Photos app on your Apple Watch directly, but it will sync to Photos app on iPhone by default. If you check Photos app on iPhone, you will find that screenshot picture inside All Photos on your tab Album.

If you want the Apple Watch shows the screenshot photo result directly on its Photos app, you can change settings of Apple Watch app on your paired iPhone, by following these steps:

on My Watch >> Photos

tap Synced Album and choose Recently add

on your Photos Limit section, you can choose the amount of photos that will be synced.

I recommend you to limit photos which is synced because of Apple Watch storage size which is less of 8 Gb. Beside that, to see photos on Apple Watch seems not really pleasant because of small display.

Further, to be able to share this screenshot picture, you can use iPhone. Find the screenshot picture in All Photos on tab Album, tap it then share button and choose the media for sharing that screenshot.
