Seems the S7 has a major bug with some app icons, they are literally black, apps work fine though. Tried setting mine up as new as well as a few restores and it was always the same icons that showed as blank.

The iPhone watch app overview shows all apps perfectly, seems just the odd few just don't show up on the watch itself.

Hopefully this gets patched ASAP.

I confirm, despite the new icon sizes added in the app for the new 7 series, it works well on simulators (41/45 mm) but unfortunately not on the real devices...
 
Mine had this and fixed it by rebooting the watch. (Hold both buttons until Apple logo)
 
Strange, my problem icons were the apps Adapt (Nike), Radioplayer and Authenticator. All fine after the reboot.
