What's best bitmap format for beautiful gradients for Venu 2?

I'm trying to prepare a graphic in Adobe Illustrator with gradients, but it looks pixelated on Venu 2 screen.

I tried 416x416 .png both with 72dpi and 320 dpi, but no difference, gradient has artifacts.

I assume that the profile for export is sRGB. Any help of format file or graphic preparation for smooth gradients?

Nobody knows how to prepare graphic for smoothest color transitions without ugly artifacts?

I know that Venu 2 can display only 65535 colors, but any details what is the palette? Any .icc profile for graphic software like Illustrator or Photoshop to prepare watchface background?
