Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Workout Recorder at none against WristSet's shown. Workout Recorder also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). WristSet's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
