Know exactly when to start your next set. SetReady is the gym rest timer for weights that turns your Apple Watch into a recovery coach: it tracks your heart rate between sets and tells you when you are ready. Requires Apple Watch. Stop guessing your rest. Finish a set, tap it on your Watch, and SetReady tracks elapsed rest, remaining rest, the peak heart rate from your last set and how many beats you recover. A haptic tells you when it is time to get back under the bar. BUILT FOR THE GYM • Rest timer between sets on Apple Watch, with haptic cues • Live heart-rate recovery: peak, beats recovered and target • Profiles for strength, hypertrophy, very heavy work or conditioning • Big iPhone controls: next set, pause and end • Keep your music or podcast playing while you lift YOUR PROGRESS AT A GLANCE • New home screen with your week, streak, last workout and rest profile • Monthly calendar with time, set and calorie rings • Training load charts and recovery trends • Every session in detail: timeline, heart-rate zones and set-by-set rests • Import workouts from Health, including runs, walks and rides with their route • Shareable performance report OPTIMIZED FOR IPHONE DUO On the inner display, home, live workout, history and summary flow into two columns, and nothing is split by the fold.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Train Rest Repeat at none against SetReady's 3. Train Rest Repeat also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). SetReady's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
