Remember the old Mac's from the 80's and their monochrome displays and ridiculously slow processing speeds? Oh, how long we had to wait while we stared at that spinning wait cursor... Used as a motif for this watch, this nostalgic wait cursor has been brought back to life in a cool way! The alarm also uses nostalgic alert sounds. It even has an Easter egg. -Caution The alarm and timer are not main functions and are active only while the app is in use. Please understand that the alarm and timer do not function properly. During silent mode, tones for the alarm and timer do not sound.

Very simple analog and digital hybrid clock with notification. "HH:MM" block and yellow short arc moves on the circle , like a minute hand. "SS" block stays center of circle. Green short arc moves on the circle like an hour hand every 12 minutes. Circle color changes between yellow and red with gradation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FuwariClock at none against iconclock's 1. FuwariClock also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). iconclock's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
