Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Analog Clock Widget at free with in-app purchases against Timer's subscription. Analog Clock Widget also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 20%) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 442). Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
