Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Stopwatch° at 4.8 against Timy's 3.6. Stopwatch° also leads on review sentiment (98% vs 63%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Timy's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
