Watts are for stereos. You can only get so much out of your bike and it depends on what you can input as much as how the bike performs.
I don't need a computer gizmo to tell me I just made it up Hospital Hill without stopping or walking it. I just pedal and get lots of water and stop when I need to.
Pretty much what I do. Beyond the most basic data, time, distance, climbing, etc. the other data is all relative to me. Whether is it absolutely accurate, really don't know or care. I have a couple of benchmark routes laid out that I go back to from time to time to see improvement... or not.
