Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: bigstopwatch at none against Stopwatch´'s 1. bigstopwatch also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Stopwatch´'s advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (305 vs 75). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
