I switched my iPhone to new and restored my Apple Watch from backup. Everything works great except any 3rd party apps can't be installed from Watch app on iPhone. Every time I clik on install, it blinks and nothing happends.
I tried restarting iPhone and Apple Watch, but nothing changed.
I can install apps from Appstore on Watch.

Anyone facing this issue too?
 
I had this too... when I paired my new S6. The issue somehow solved itself, maybe it just needs some time to settle in before you can install Apps...
 
Seen this happen with the odd app or two, but as mentioned above, eventually seems to sort itself out.

Maybe a borked backup?

Might try the nuclear option of unpair, re-pair. Yeah, it's a pain...
