watch screen copies appear on my iPhone and other devices

My watch produces screen copies that are transmitted to my other devices. Often several per day. I have no idea why it does so and would like to know how to stop this, These pictures dominate among my pictures and take up unnecessary space on my phone.

You are probably taking accidentally screenshots of the watch.

Bending the wrist could touch the digital crown and the side button in a specific way.

You may want to shift the watch bands a little.

After you take a screenshot, you can find it in the Photos app on your iPhone.
