Most Apple Watch metronomes have a problem: screen goes dark, tempo wavers, or haptics drift. Conducto fixes all three. Feel every beat. Strong haptic pulses you can actually feel, even mid-performance. Toggle haptic and audio independently, choose from multiple click sounds and haptic styles, and dial in your tempo with the Digital Crown or tap tempo. TEMPO TRAINER Set a start and end BPM, choose your step size and duration, and Conducto ramps you up automatically. Optional ramp-down once you hit the top tempo. GAP PATTERN MODE Silence specific bars to force your internal clock to do the work. The click returns on the next bar to keep you honest. Works standalone or combined with Tempo Trainer. Optional "randomize gap" mode allows the gaps to switch to a different bar every measure. FEATURES · Runs forever · Strong haptic pulses you can feel mid-performance · Haptic + audio toggle independently · Multiple click sounds and haptic styles · Tap tempo · Digital Crown tempo control · Custom time signatures with accent beat · Battery-optimized for long sessions · Watch face complication · Apple Watch only: no iPhone required Free to try (45–75 BPM). One purchase unlocks full BPM range and Tempo Trainer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: OpusMode at every 5 days against Conducto's every 2 months. Conducto's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
