*** SOLUTION/WORKAROUND***

ok, I stumbled upon this solution yesterday and it works for 2 straight days, and here are the steps:

-1- Select the 'Phone' app.

-2- Select 'Keypad'.

-3- Click on the little green '<' icon.

-4- Reselect 'Keypad'.

-5- Press the Digital Crown (watch winding button) twice to return back to your clockface.



Notes:

i) You may or may not have to select Keypad twice. You should notice the full-brightness either the first time or the 2nd time you select Keypad...

—-

This works well for me with S7

It doesn’t work for non-AOD (S4/SE, etc) because the brightness quickly resets at the flick of the wrist (off to on again)

Also resets when your watch locks so this is per wrist use session essentially
