Since Cyclemeter uses your phones clock for times, I would bet that it's more accurate on times than your bike computer. If you aren't using a speed sensor with Cyclemeter, I would be willing to bet the bike computer is going to be more accurate than the GPS on your phone. When set up correctly, wheel revolutions are more accurate than GPS when determining speed and distance.
