Bike computer vs watch for mountain biking?

For my gravel rides, I use the garmin edge 530. It makes sense for navigation when needed but also power numbers if I’m doing intervals.


But for mtb, I’m doing general trail riding and not really doing any type of intervals there and I can’t really glance down at the screen very much while riding mtb trails.


I’m wondering if others here use just a watch for tracking mtb rides. It seems the garmin instinct 2 or fenix watches are pretty popular.


It’s not a big deal to use the edge but it might be slightly less of a hassle to just use a watch I wear 24/7. I wear an Apple Watch but that doesn’t have all the same data a garmin device has or support for a power meter.
