Sure, the phone can do and record more but I don’t like having it strapped to my cockpit. So, now my inconspicuous BC on my stem at least shows similar speed and distance data to that on my phone in my back pocket.
Well, a GPS cycling computer would solve that problem, of course, some of which, like the $79 Lezyne Macro Easy, are quite inexpensive.

It’s fully capable of running Bluetooth sensors, too, so you can hook up a speed sensor for enhanced accuracy if you want it.
