Apple Watch Ultra 2
Also known as: Apple Watch Ultra screenshot size
What is the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for App Store screenshots?
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 (released September 2023) is Apple's flagship Watch with a 49mm titanium case and a 410 x 502 pixel display. For App Store uploads, 410 x 502 portrait is the size Apple lists for the Ultra 2 and the original Ultra.
That is one of six accepted Apple Watch sizes, not a universal requirement. Apple's specification introduces the watch dimensions with "One of the following" and then lists all six, where the iPhone and iPad rows are structured as a primary size plus documented fallbacks. The watch row documents no scaling fallback at all, so the canvas you upload is the one every watch owner sees. Pick the pair matching the newest watch class you support.
What's distinctive about Apple Watch screenshots?
Watch screenshots are dramatically smaller than iPhone or iPad: 410 x 502 versus iPhone's 1320 x 2868. The composition challenge is conveying value at thumbnail-size: a watch face, a complication, or a single primary interaction. Most Watch screenshots show one focused screen at a time rather than the multi-element compositions common on iPhone.
Watch listings often include only 1-3 screenshots rather than the maximum 10. Apple displays Watch screenshots inside a Watch device frame on the App Store, which reduces the effective canvas further.
When does an app need Watch screenshots?
Apps need Watch screenshots only when they ship Watch app support. A standalone iPhone app without a Watch companion doesn't need or use Watch screenshots in App Store Connect. Apps that DO have Watch support are expected to surface meaningful Watch functionality in the screenshots, not just placeholder Watch UI.
