If that works well enough for you, then great, do that. But this has a more visible screen, better routing, better battery life, better interface with other components, better data tracking, better rain protection, better crash protection, etc.

That being said, this is an old model which has been as low as $200 in the recent past, so those in the market may want to wait to see if it'll drop that low again. But who knows, maybe people are running low on stock and it'll never drop again.
For many, the Apple Watch is good enough to track this sort of thing.

However, this will provide more details and insight into your rides. If you're hugely into data and using that to improve your workout, this is very nice. It fits on the bike well, and has quick commands and stats that are easier to see directly on the bike, rather than your watch.

While some may say the stats are the main seller, the radar is the killer feature for me. Also expensive, it attaches to the rear of your bike and shows when and approximately how fast a car is coming up on you from behind. It's very accurate and gives you a better understanding of dangers around you.

In all, this isn't for everyone. It's expensive and the Apple Watch does enough data tracking.

But if you want to ride a little safer with the radar and become obsessed with riding stats, this is nice.
Different type of device. (I have a 520, which is the step down, previous model series).
This connects to hrm, cadence sensor, power meter. All helpful for long rides and more serious training. It also connects to Garmin's Varia light/blind spot warning device. (Not my thing but my friends who have Varia love it.)
Also, the UI has a lot of other stuff to it, like super detailed climb profiles so you can see what's coming up (nice on long unfamiliar routes). Also has Strava live segments where you can see how much faster you need to go to beat your friends up the hill.
Plus, something I especially like about having a separate device is that it isn't a phone. It doesn't ring or buzz or give alerts about whatever thing you don't need to hear about when you're in the middle of a ride.

Garmin user interface sucks. You have to make so many clicks(taps) to do simple tasks.

Always wanted one of these, but the price seems unjustified compared to a GPS app on a cell phone mounted to my bike. Any thoughts from the crowd who buys this tech?

The GPS from a garmin is supposed to be a little more accurate, but I still get wrong speed readings on my 830 when riding in the woods.

You probably don't need to track your pedaling watts or heartrate, but everything else should be just as useful. Garmin does make a version that has some e-bike specific features for compatible bikes. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/802162

This is dedicated, so it's less clunky.

With a phone you need the right app, make sure Bluetooth is connecting with all your sensors, a good mount. But generally the phone is just as good, if not better. Battery life, gps, maps, .etc.

Mamil will always argue these are far better, though.

You'll know when you're part of the crowd that finds these useful. If you have to ask, you probably don't need it yet.
