Core Highlights Status Visualization, Sets and Timer Clear at a Glance - Before you start, set your target number of sets and rest duration between sets. It supports customized training goals from 1 to 99 sets, and a rest duration of up to one hour with notification alerts when time is up. Free training without a timer is also available. - The interface uses four colors to distinguish training nodes: green for training in progress, yellow for rest countdown, red for rest timeout, and blue for training completed. Track your progress without needing to read the text closely. - If there is no operation for a long time after entering the workout, a notification will pop up asking whether you want to continue or end the training. Wrist-Counter Interaction Experience Tailored for Fitness Scenes - Inheriting the gesture operations of the sliding counter from its predecessor, swipe right to quickly switch between exercise and rest, fearless of sweat and complex environment interference. - Accidentally moved to the next step? No problem, we provide a one-time swipe-left option to go back to the previous step. - Need to leave temporarily? Long-press the center of the button to pause the timer, and tap the reset button or rotate the Digital Crown to exit the current training. - Too absorbed in your phone and lost track of time? Long-press the time area to reset the timer for the current phase. - Feeling pumped and want to do a few more sets? You can quickly adjust the current and total number of sets by long-pressing the set counter. Optimized Specifically for Apple Watch - Deeply built based on watchOS 26. Adopting fully native controls and an exclusive liquid glass visual effect, the interface is transparent and lightweight, paired with dynamic lighting effects. The native texture seamlessly integrates into the watch's system UI. - Full adaptation to watch faces: perfectly supports various complication styles such as corner, circular, text, and rectangular. No matter which watch face you choose, it perfectly fits your personalized layout. - Always-On Display (AOD): perfectly supports AOD screen-off. It intelligently hides backgrounds and animations to save power, retaining only core critical data; it wakes up instantly when you raise your wrist, seamlessly displaying the latest real-time information. Raise your wrist to control every set of training, operate with gestures as you wish. A strength training timer deeply polished for Apple Watch, making every weightlifting session clear in rhythm and maximized in efficiency.
RunTrace

Install RunTrace and your running history is already there. Every run in Apple Health — the ones from your Apple Watch, the ones from whatever app you used before — is on the first screen, with its route, splits and heart rate intact. No account to make, no import to wait for, nothing to set up. Then it records new runs too. GPS route, live pace, splits as you pass each kilometre or mile, auto-pause when you stop at a light, and spoken split announcements so you don't have to look. Distance and pace stay on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a pause button you can reach without unlocking. EVERY RUN, FULLY BROKEN DOWN • Route map, plus a profile of pace, elevation or heart rate along the distance • Splits chart showing your fastest and slowest laps • Time in five heart-rate zones • Running form measured by Apple Watch: power, cadence, stride length, ground contact and vertical oscillation • A note for how it felt TRENDS WORTH READING • Weekly volume over a week, a month, three months, a year, or everything • Pace trend, plotted so faster is up • Fitness, Fatigue and Form — training load that tells you whether you're fresh, building, or overreaching • Records: longest run, longest time, best pace, biggest week, week streak • Best efforts at 1 km, 1 mile, 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon, found inside runs you've already done • VO₂ Max, resting heart rate and HRV, each against where it was three months ago ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app records on its own — leave the phone at home. Start, pause, finish; the workout goes into Health and the run turns up on your iPhone. A WEEKLY GOAL, IF YOU WANT ONE Pick a distance for the week and watch the ring fill. Optional reminders on the days you plan to run. SHARE AND EXPORT A share card built for someone else's feed: one big number and the shape of your route, no street map of your neighbourhood. Export any run as GPX with heart rate and cadence, or export all of them at once. HOME SCREEN WIDGET This week's distance and your last run, at a glance. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no ads, no analytics, no servers of ours. Runs you record sync through your own private iCloud, so they follow you between devices. What RunTrace reads from Apple Health stays on the device it read it from. One purchase. No subscription, no unlocks, no paywall — everything above is in the app the first time you open it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SetTrack at $0.99 against RunTrace's $5.99. RunTrace's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
