OP- I have both a series 3 and a dedicated cycle computer (Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt) and I love both. The only times I’ve tried to use my watch while riding I’ve been frustrated or it felt dangerous at anything but a slow/relaxed speed.
Glancing down at a dedicated cycle computer on your handlebars vs looking at your elevated wrist (you have to lift your wrist for the screen to turn on) are VERY different.
If you have little interest in using an Apple Watch OFF the bike- you should just look for a similarly priced cycle computer. It really will work better as a cycle computer than an Apple Watch.

Lezyne also has multiple in that price range- I don’t know their product line enough to make a recommendation, but I’ve only heard good things about them:
