Verdict
Speedometer ⋙ and Watch Browser both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 57% of Speedometer ⋙'s written reviews are positive against 10% of Watch Browser's. Speedometer ⋙ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (15K vs 272). Watch Browser's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
