Overview: Spot o’clock is a unique clock designed to be read out of focus. A fantastic innovation for people with poor vision and struggle to read traditional clocks without their corrective lenses. The clock face features a unique design where colored spots are arranged around the analog clock face, allowing users to read the time by position rather than clarity. Description: - Similar to reading a pair of six-sided dice, where the patterns are recognized rather than counting. - The current hour is interpreted by the position of the white spot among the visible red cornerstone spots. - Just ahead of the current hour white spot is the place holder open circle that over rides the red cornerstones at 2,5,8,11 o'clock. - The open circle is critical to the clock function. - The minute is interpreted by the traditional position of analog clock hands. - Individuals can read Spot o’clock at a distance typical of a bedside nightstand or greater. Results may vary per individual. - Spot o’clock can also be easily read by active users who are physically on the go when small numbers are difficult to read in motion. iOS features: - Optimized for iOS18 + features - Spot o’clock on iPhone overrides screen sleep function to remain on for extended periods such as all night bedside clock or desk clock. - Please keep your device connected to power supply when doing so. - Auto orientation in either landscape or portrait modes. - Red underline below the clock face allows the user to identify which end is down to assist with auto orientation. Free version: - Ad banner - Utilizing only the base face for those who prefer a simple, less distracting display. - Apple Watch companion is a practical solution for users who need a reliable time-telling app without the fuss of reading small numbers. In app purchase Available: Unlocks pro features for those who prefer a bit more precision for all devices: iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. - Red second hand (pro version) - Discrete hour indices (pro version) Visit www.spotoclock.com Watch the demo and read more about the Spot o’clock.

Choose the categories you want to sync, including steps, energy, heart rate, resting heart rate, HRV, sleep, workouts, body metrics, and optional nutrition and water data.

What you can do: - Review Health access with user-controlled read permissions - Toggle each health category before sync - Sync the last 24 hours or backfill a date range - Retry failed uploads automatically - Use a custom HTTPS backend or managed HealthSync storage - Keep raw health payloads out of app logs HealthSync does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HealthySync at none against Spot o'clock's 1. HealthySync also leads on ads (none vs shown). Spot o'clock's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
