I don't even mount it but keep it in my pocket, since I don't like to look at numbers when riding.

The big advantage vs basic computers is that you have a detailed log and map of what you did.
If those last, I might have to think about getting one. I've really wanted something with turn by turn directions so I could map a route in advance or explore new areas without worrying about getting lost, but I don't have that kind of scratch. At least this would get me going with a gps to map where I'd been.
