Quick answer
Use the current Garmin instructions for this exact model before capturing.
Garmin screenshot shortcuts vary by model. Some watches use a configurable Screenshot Hot Key; other watches use a fixed button shortcut or a newer action-button setting.
The Connect IQ profile tells us this is a Garmin watch or wearable profile, but it does not define the physical screenshot shortcut. Use the official model instructions for the capture step, then use GARMIN\ScreenShot for the saved file.
