I fish, but I'm not a serious fisherman. I hike but I'm not a serious backpacker. And I tinker around the house but I'm not a serious woodworker or mechanic.

So when I see deals for products for them I don't fully understand, I keep my mouth shut.
If you do long rides, your phone isn't going to last, simple as that.
Someone doesn't ride very much

I used to think that the radar was a stupid idea, since it's easy to ride with a helmet mirror.

But after picking up an older Varia RTL500 for $100, I changed my tune. It's amazing how nice it is to see how many vehicles are coming up behind you and how fast they're approaching before you even hear the vehicle (and you can program your Edge bike computer to beep a warning too). Just ordered the vertical 315 non-light model to stop swapping models between different bikes.

Do you even ride brah?

You'd probably get torched and be on the side of the road gasping for air.

May I ask, without being attacked, what this does that my smartphone + smart watch can't besides the radar feature? I heard battery life, which has never been even close to an issue for me on any of my 30+ mile rides (I know that's not much compared to serious riders but I really feel I could safely triple that distance if I ever felt like it ((I won't)) and still have battery left).

Phone vs bike CPU

+: battery life saver for phone, cadence sync, power sync, elevation, speed, gps accuracy

-: $$, extra weight, extra device

It's really your preference. No one actually needs one, they just want one to flex with data to prove it.
