My problem was that my watch face changed to a black background with the last watch software update similar to my experience with black dark mode display backgrounds with recent updates to my phone and iMac. Once I figured out the watch face settings were changed with the update, I changed them back. Another problem with my watch faces after the update is that the two faces I have with my photos in the background lost their scaling.

It sounds like you were able to resolve the issue with the dark background. For the issue with the photos, have you tried removing them from your Apple Watch and then adding back? If not, remove the photos and restart your Apple Watch and iPhone using these steps:
