I have a Garmin 810 which I bought as my first GPS bike computer and now use habitually. It's definitely way more than I need. I use it as an independent measurement of speed and temperature, which come in handy on most rides, and the clock is useful to me as a commuter. I've experimented with the advanced features - turn-by-turn and real time tracking can be nice - but for most rides I don't bother since I could use that setup time to ride instead.
I like the Garmin since I can move it from bike to bike without having to futz with sensors and cables (and actually not having to futz with those things in general.) I don't want to mount my phone on the handlebar since I don't want to place it at risk, for obvious reasons. If I rode only one bike, I'd probably just use a traditional bike computer as well. --Ed C.
