Yep, that’s where bike computers excel. I use a Garmin 530, which is getting a little dated now. But it still works well on long events and features like Climb Pro are invaluable for pacing climbs. With everything I have on my Garmin display, I don’t think I could replicate it on a phone. It would probably require multiple apps and lots of juggling between them. Plus the obvious battery life limitation.
