Verdict
The clearest difference is chart position: Reader for Watch at #200 against 腕阅读's unranked. Reader for Watch also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 47%). 腕阅读's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
