Anyway to take screenshots on an apple watch?

If i got a certain text message i wanted to save, or shazam-ed a song that i wanted to remember....idk.

Is there anyway to do it?
 
1. Why would you take a screenshot to save a text message? Seems pretty odd.

2. The Shazam app shows all the previous matches in a list, so no need to take screenshot of each match..

Other than that; only time will tell. But I honestly don't think it'll be an option (at launch).

Being able to document bugs is reason enough for screenshots.

Maybe by pressing the digital crown and button at the same time?
I assume it would be saved in the photos app on iPhone, since the watch version is only for photos previously specified on the companion app.
 
I hope there is a simple way.
I see added benefit... For example, they hyped the 3D emojis & I'm stoked to learn that the recipient does NOT have to have Apple Watch- they will animate in iMessage. However... what about my Android buddies?! I'd love to have a way to send them the same as I'm sending everybody else... a screen shot would allow that.

Edit:
Albeit, non animated... unless they support some new gif protocol.
 
Yes

You can take screenshots on the Apple Watch

Surprise! I accidentally pressed the Digital Crown and the button below it, and the screen flashed. I checked my iPhone's photo library, and there was a screenshot of the watch display. I didn't use screenshots in my review because it's more useful to see the watch and its display in a natural setting, but it'll come in handy in the future, I'm sure.
