Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OneHandClock at none against X Clock's 1. OneHandClock also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). X Clock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 26 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
