Nothing worse than your phone battery draining in the middle of the ride.
If you don't know why you need a cycling computer, you definitely don't need a $600 MSRP cycling computer.
Chi-ching. That's the slickest deal of all!
I personally am a data junkie and like that it calculates my VO2, cadence, effort, speed, distance, elevation, lactate threshold and also works with my rear light and radar so that I can see when a car is approaching.
It does so much more than I listed but hopefully, you get the idea.
Hope this helps

For short rides or the casual user, you don't need this but if you ride regularly or for long rides, these bike computers last a long time and save your battery in your phone.

Serious question: why do I need this instead of using my phone?
your phone cant do even 10% of what can do this garmin device.

Yes, a ten dollar battery is a great option for the casual user but for the avid cyclist who likes to record their metrics for every ride and also live in the Garmin ecosystem where everything is synced and plays nice together, a small head unit that allows you to ride 100 miles without worry of running out of juice is the way to go.

Apps can do all that and upload data to garmin
I prefer to not bring a phone on rides. Cycling computer stays mounted in front of me, and keeps a lightweight profile. Cycling computer is ANT+ capable. Cycling computer has significant battery life over my phone; and significant weight reduction vs my phone + a battery pack or two, for sure.
Long story short - in Cycling convenience and weight gain = $$$.
This computer is 100% worth it for someone who can justify its price. My Wahoo Element at half the price is 100% worth it to me.

I guess if you have no exposure to the device ecosystem you could say things like this and believe you are right but show me an app that syncs with my rear bike radar to alert and show me how fast a car is approaching. I'll just ask this one thing but I could go on with my power meter, measuring my pedal efficiency and right to left foot power outputs, etc.
