  • Feel the beat on your wrist
  • Silent metronome for practice/performance
  • No audible metronome sound
  • Wrist-based beat indication
Read full description

Run a metronome on your Apple Watch and receive haptic feedback for each note. No longer do you have to listen for the metronome sound to tell you when the beat has hit. Instead let it tap your wrist. Think of this, playing live on stage with your instrument and nearest to your instrument is your wrist tapping to the beat. I can't think of a better place and way to keep the beat. No more needing to tap your foot. Let Apple Watch tap your wrist instead. This tool is for entertainment purposes only. As the Watch doesn't allow apps to continuously run, the metronome will stop at either 15 or 70 seconds based on your General-Wake Screen-On Tap setting on your watch. For best results, place the watch on the inner portion of your wrist so that the watch doesn't automatically shut down because of lowering your wrist.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Click Metronome at 82% against WatchHapticMetronome's 13%. Click Metronome also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (295 vs 8). WatchHapticMetronome's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
