Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Constantinople at none against Watch Istanbul's 1. Constantinople also leads on iOS requirement (13 vs 18.6). Watch Istanbul's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 14 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
