Metre
Read full descriptionHide full description
Metre is a watch-first workout app for lifters who want to stay focused on the workout instead of reaching for their phone. Built for Apple Watch, Metre supports the rhythm of training: start a workout, begin a lift, track your sets, time your rest, and move into the next effort without breaking focus. Set up the workout before you start. Choose your sets and rest time for a lifting session, then let Metre carry you through the flow. You can also run Tabata, EMOM, and custom work-and-rest protocols from your wrist. Use Metre to: ⢠Start workouts quickly from your wrist ⢠Set the number of sets, rest time, and rounds before you begin ⢠Move through programmed lifting, Tabata, EMOM, and interval workouts ⢠Save workout records to Apple Health and view them later in Apple Fitness ⢠Track lifts and total sets during a session ⢠Time work and rest between sets ⢠Add more rest when you need it ⢠Use haptic feedback to know when it is time to lift again ⢠Look back at your workout history before your next session Many workout apps are built around planning, logging, and extra features that pull attention away from the gym floor. Metre takes a simpler approach: do one thing, do it well. Your phone stays out of the way so you can lift, rest, and repeat with better rhythm from the start of the workout to the last set. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
UBT

UBT is a round timer built for jiu-jitsu, readable from across the mat, and quiet about everything that isn't the clock. OFFICIAL IBJJF TIMES Every belt's match time is ready to go: white 5 min, blue 6, purple 7, brown 8, black 10. Train at the exact pace you'll compete at. TRAINING FORMATS Drill, warm-up, sparring, long roll, shark tank and single match, the sessions your academy already runs, one tap away. YOUR OWN WORKOUTS Set rounds, round length and rest. The app shows how the total breaks down: how many minutes rolling, how many resting. Save it and it's waiting for you next time. BUILT TO READ AT A GLANCE A dark screen with a huge countdown and a ring that changes color as the round moves: green while you roll, amber in the final stretch, red in the last seconds, blue on rest. You'll know where you are without walking over to the phone. SOUNDS THAT CUT THROUGH Eight tones, including gong, air horn, whistle, bell and buzzer, plus recorded voice calls for each moment of the session. Pick a different one for round start, rest and the end of the workout. Alerts play over your music instead of stopping it, and work with the phone on silent. MADE FOR TRAINING Screen stays awake while the round runs. Works in portrait and landscape. English, Portuguese and Spanish, following your phone's language. Free, with a single ad when you open the app, never during a round.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UBT at none against Metre's 2. UBT also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Metre's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
