Save the current position in the app then go to the destination point and read the distance from your Watch, this application implements Complications so you can read live the distance straight from the watch face. Navigation apps show distance by the road, fitness apps show traveled distance but this app show distance in straight line. App supports imperial and metric system.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Watch Microphone at 100% against Rangefinder for Watch's 0%. Watch Microphone also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 40 months). Rangefinder for Watch's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.4). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
